# Search and filter tasks
> [HTML Version](360014163772.html)
To quickly find specific task information, use the task search tool. You can search by subject, author, start and due date as well as corresponding business process or app.
If you use a specific set of criteria frequently, you can save it as filter.
## Quick task search
To find a task, simply type its subject in the search box. The search will be performed through the section you are currently viewing: [My tasks](360014163712.md#incoming), [Assigned by Me](360014163712.md#assigned-by-me), [CRM tasks](https://brix365.com/en/products/crm/), [Assisting](360014163712.md#outgoing), etc.
Please note that the quick search by author is available only on the **My Tasks** page. On the **Assigned by me** page you can search by executor.

You can filter the search results. To do this, switch between the available options: **Overdue**, **Active**, **Completed**, and **All**.

## Search by parameters
For more precise results, use search by parameters. Click the (advanced-search-icon.png) icon to the right of the search box and set the parameters.
**(search_task_03.png)**
You can search by:
- **Main fields**: name, due date, executor of a CRM task.
- **System fields**: author, the date the task was created.
- **Associated object**. It can be a business process that includes the task you are looking for, or an app that the task is associated with. There are several ways to associate a task with an app:
- An item of the app is passed to the [process context variable](process_context.md) via the **Link to field** option when the process is started from the [app item page](button-types-settings.md#add_launch_button) or via the [Start process](360012266792.md) activity.
- The process is launched from the page of the [associated app](how_to_bind_app_to_proccess.md).
- The task is created on the page of an app item in the [Associated tasks](bound_tasks_widget.md) widget.
Enter the name of the associated object manually or select one of the available ones by clicking the magnifying glass icon. You can specify system and custom objects, for a business process you can also select [CRM tasks](360012911980.md) names. You will see the fields of the associated process or app that have the [Search and sorting](360009918011.md) option enabled. Use these fields to limit your search, for example, by specifying an exact date or a certain participant.
Please note that the **Associated object** option is not available for [CRM](360012911980.md) tasks.
## Use filters
Each user can define a set of parameters to search for tasks and save them as a filter to use such a search repeatedly.
