Example: Complete Cross-Project Search Session
Here's a real example of how a cross-project search session flows:
User Prompt
AI Response (Search Results)
Cross-Project Search: 'authentication' (12 tasks found)
Project: API Redesign (5 tasks)

- Mobile Authentication: Mobile-specific auth features (4 tasks)
- Bug Fixes: Authentication-related bugs (3 tasks)
Consolidation Suggestions:
- Tasks "Implement user authentication" (API) and "Implement mobile authentication" (Mobile) are similar - consider consolidating requirements

- No data changes: Only searches and analyzes tasks
- Suggestions only: Provides consolidation recommendations
- Safe to run: No risk of modifying tasks
Troubleshooting
No Tasks Found
Symptom: Search returns no results
Possible causes:
- Keyword doesn't appear in task titles/descriptions
- Keyword is too specific
- Tasks in different workspace
Fix: Try broader keyword or related terms: "Search for tasks related to [broader topic]"
Too Many Results
Symptom: Search returns too many tasks
Possible causes:
- Keyword is too common
- Many tasks mention the keyword
Fix: Narrow search: "Search for tasks with '[keyword]' in title only" or add additional filters
