When you are inside a project, the search bar searches for experiments

so if you want to search inside a specific project, go to that project and use the search bar, if you want to search all over, go to the project called "All Experiments" and search there

It will look for tasks as well as projects and models

I mean, if I search for "model", will it automatically search for tasks containing "model" in their name?

Yes

It's an option, not a must

Using an on-perm clearml server, latest published version

Then that did not work, but I'll look into it again soon!

UnevenDolphin73 you can actually just be in the Dashboard, and use the search there

I mean, if I search for "model", will it automatically search for tasks containing "model" in their name?

SuccessfulKoala55 That at least did not work, unless one has to specify wildcard patterns perhaps..?

Which server are you using?
