global search that includes tasks, categories, efforts, notes, all at once
I would like to have an option in the search drop down to "Search Categories too". And it would be great if that option would search both the Category names and Category descriptions (and Category Notes?). Thanks!

Hi.
It would be a great improvement to this programm if we could search ALL notes at one place.
If you make notes within single tasks you can´t find them unless you know under which task you made this note.
Thanks.

@Aaron, your suggestion would be great if filtering on categories wasn't broken. It appears this was reported months ago (by someone else) and is still broken for me now (http://sourceforge.net/p/taskcoach/bugs/1281/) (Windows 7, TC 1.3.26)

You can already easily export all the efforts of a certain category.
Simply select the category (check it) and then your effort viewer will show only efforts from that category. Next do select-all (cntrl-A, command-A on mac) in the efforts. Then go to File>Export and in the dialog choose to export selected only.
Cheers

I would especially like this for the effort area. Primarily so I can export efforts of a certain category without having to go through and click all the efforts that have that category. (the goal of this is for reporting.)

For reference, although it isn't a single search, you can add search to the toolbar for the category viewer. Just use the gear icon to customize your toolbar. Then you can do this sort of searching, just not all at once.
