Quick Search
Quick searches are performed in the field immediately above the "Go to Work Item"
button.
Enter key works into the field and click the binoculars icon to begin the search.
The default quick search will return every work item in your default server that
contains your search terms in the title or description. The results will appear
listed in a new window. Double-click on a work item to open it; doing so will not
close out of your search.
The quick search window allows you to modify or focus your search. To change or
add to your key words, type them into the search field. You can select a different
server, or refine your search to a specific project by selecting the desired search
area in the first drop-down. You may narrow the search to work items assigned to
a specific person in the second drop-down. You may refine your search to work items
in a particular state in the third drop-down.
You can further specify your search by hand-selecting which fields of the work items
are searched. Click the "Query Fields..." button in the top-right corner. This opens
the "Select Fields to Query" window. It contains two lists. The list on the right
contains the fields that are being searched. The list on the left contains the available
fields. To add a searchable field, highlight it and click the right arrow button.
To remove a searchable field, highlight it and click the left arrow. Click OK when
you are done.
After modifying a quick search, to re-run the search click "Search."
