How to search all content? [A: with Global Search in v2.8, now in public test]

Unfortunately still no movement on this it seems.

Sorry for the delay! I shared our OmniFocus roadmap at the beginning of the year:

@kcase

On Mac, OmniFocus will also be getting more control over style settings, allowing more font and color choices such as switching to dark mode. We’ll continue to improve syncing, turning our attention to changing the file format to improve conflict resolution for synced edits and to allow backward- and forward-compatible syncing as we introduce new features to OmniFocus.

…

Across the board, in all our apps, we’ll be continuing to improve the overall user experience, finding out where the little points of friction are that get in the way and make the apps more difficult than they could be.

We’ve just about finished delivering all the changes listed in the first paragraph, and will be turning our attention to global search in OmniFocus for Mac: it’s one of those “little points of friction” that I reference in the second paragraph.

(For now, it’s worth noting that the built-in workaround doesn’t require Pro: the Changed perspective is also available from the Perspectives menu in Standard. But I’m looking forward to that workaround becoming irrelevant.)
