Lack of text highlighting and search within task descriptions
We need the ability to search for and highlight specific text within a task's description field. Currently, advanced search only finds the task, forcing us to use browser workarounds or manual links to locate specific content in long descriptions used for SOPs and documentation.

It would be nice if I could search for and highlight the text that is in the description of a task.
So text search is a huge pain.
Asana doesn’t offer this functionality.
