Once you’ve been using OmniFocus for a while, you may find that you have built up quite an extensive database of projects, actions and groups. In this video, we’ll walk through the variety of quick and convenient features that OmniFocus provides to help you search your OmniFocus database. Most of what we’ll cover will work on the Standard and Pro editions of OmniFocus.

- How to search the main outline using one or multiple search terms.
- How to search the entire database, or only a portion.
- How to search for items in the OmniFocus Archive database.
- How to use the Find feature to find items in the main outline.
- How to use Quick Open to conveniently access perspectives, folders, projects and contexts.
