The main search field is the fastest way to look up almost any item in ClickUp. It supports quick keyword search across Spaces, Folders, Lists, tasks, and more.

1. Open the search screen using one of the methods above.

2. Tap into the search field at the top.

3. Type a keyword, task name, assignee, or Doc title.

You can refine your query further using filters and tabs, which are described in the next sections.

Filter results in ClickUp mobile search

Filters help you narrow a long result list to just the work you need. In the ClickUp mobile app, filters are available on the search screen for task results.

Apply filters to ClickUp task results

1. Open search and enter a keyword.

2. Switch to the Tasks tab if it is not already active.

3. Tap the Filter icon or filter text on the screen.

4. Choose one or more filters, such as:

   • Status

   • Assignee

   • Due date

   • List or Folder

5. Tap Apply to refresh the ClickUp results with your selected filters.

You can remove filters at any time to see a broader set of tasks again.

Use ClickUp search tabs to explore items

Search results are organized into tabs so you can quickly focus on a specific type of content in ClickUp. Tabs can vary slightly depending on your workspace setup.

Common ClickUp search tabs

• All: Combined results across supported item types.

• Tasks: Tasks matching your search term, with filters available.

• Docs: Docs and other knowledge items containing your search term.

• Views: Saved views such as Lists, Boards, or Calendars related to your query.

• Chats or Comments (if available): Conversations that match your text.

Use these tabs to move between search categories without having to retype your query in ClickUp.

View and manage recent searches in ClickUp

The mobile app keeps a short history of what you have searched for recently. This lets you reopen previous ClickUp searches in a tap.

Open a recent ClickUp search

1. Open the search screen.

2. Below the search field, review the Recent searches list.

3. Tap any recent term to run that search again and load fresh results.

Clear individual recent searches

1. Go to the search screen in ClickUp.

2. Locate the recent search you want to remove.

3. Tap the clear or remove icon next to that search term.

4. The term disappears from your recent list.

Clear all recent searches

1. Open the search experience in the ClickUp mobile app.

2. In the Recent searches section, look for an option such as Clear all.

3. Tap it, then confirm if prompted.

4. All stored recent search terms are removed at once.

Clearing recent items does not affect your actual tasks, Docs, or other ClickUp content. It only resets the history list.
