Problems with Search

Can I search on "User" and have any Product Backlog Item returned where “user” is listed? For example, I want to search on "User" and have returned all PBIs with "Users," “User,” "User-Role", UserRole" etc. listed.<!--?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /-->

    Hi Matt,

    This question would probably be better answered by Microsoft since the querying system in TFS and Web Access is under their responsibility.

    Most likely, it is possible to create a query with clauses similar to these ones:

    Work Item Type = "Product Backlog Item"
    AND (Assigned To = "username" OR Modified By = "username" OR ...)

    You can create queries in Web Access by clicking on WORK > work items > New > New Query and entering the parameters for your query. You can learn more about queries in TFS in Microsoft's documentation:

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Francis. Since we upgraded TFS, the search works differently. Search on anything with "micro" will now provide 0 matches, but "micro*" will return Microsoft. Thanks again.
