The search bar at the top of the Atono interface helps you quickly locate stories, bugs, and epics from anywhere in the product. Results update as you type, with fuzzy matching across titles, descriptions, comments, and more—so even partial matches or small typos still surface what you’re looking for. Whether you're following up on a story or tracking down a bug someone mentioned, search helps you get to the right item quickly.

What you can search

Search includes epics, and stories and bugs that are in:

Story refinement
Bug triage
Team backlogs

It does not include:

Completed backlog items (items in a workflow step in the 'Done' category)
Backlog items in a team's 'Wont' do' category
Backlog items in private team backlogs you don't have access to

To find completed or discarded items, use filters on the Everything page instead. That’s the best place to search across all backlog items, regardless of status or visibility.

Where search looks

Search matches keywords in:

Titles
Story, bug, or epic IDs
Descriptions
User stories
Acceptance criteria
Comments (excluding resolved or rejected ones)

Matching is fuzzy and case-insensitive—so partial matches and small typos are fine.

How results are ranked

Results are sorted by relevance, with higher priority given to:

Exact or partial matches in the story, bug, or epic ID.
Keywords in the title.
Keywords in the content.
Matches in acceptance criteria.

Each result shows where the match occurred so you can scan quickly and decide what to open.

What results look like

Results update as you type, with a total result count shown at the top. Matching terms are highlighted, even if they aren’t exact—so you can quickly spot why something matched.

Each result includes:

The story, bug, or epic title.
The item ID (e.g., BUG-880, STORY-355, EPIC-747).
A snippet showing where the match occurred—such as Comment, Description, AC, or User story.
A label showing the story or bug's current location: Team backlog, Story refinement, or Bug triage.

This makes it easy to scan results at a glance and jump directly to the item you need.

Add filters to narrow results

You can narrow your search results using filters. Filters work alongside your keyword search to help you focus on the items that matter most. For example, if you search for “onboarding” and filter by a specific team and workflow step, you’ll only see items that match those criteria.

When using multi-select filters, items matching any of the selected values are included. For example, filtering by To do and Design shows items in either step.

Your selected filters are remembered when you revisit a recent search, so you can pick up where you left off without reapplying them.
