The header search looks up tasks you are allowed to see.
Default search
Without AI, the app posts to json/task/search (title and related fields). Pick a result to open that task on the board/table.
Smart search (AI)
When AI is enabled for the user, the same box can call json.ai.smart_search. If Semantic search (embeddings) is on in AI settings, results can match meaning, not only keywords.
After turning embeddings on, run once (and after large imports):
php artisan ai:embed-tasks
Natural-language filters
On the board filter panel, AI can parse a filter sentence (parse_filter) into member/due-date style constraints. Ordinary filters still work with clicks only.
Privacy
Search never returns work from workspaces you are not a member of. Do not put secrets in task titles if users in that workspace should not see them — membership is the boundary.
