If you cannot see a project when using the search bar, there could be a few possible reasons:

  1. Different Search Bars: There is a global search bar on the top right of the page next to the bell icon. It will search through all your projects. Do note that depending on your view there is also a local context-sensitive search bar in the middle of the screen, below the global search bar.

  2. Incorrect search term: Make sure you are entering the correct project name or keywords related to the project. Double-check for any typos or errors in your search query.

  3. Limited access or permissions: You might not have permission to view or access the project. Check with the project owner or administrator to ensure that you have been granted the necessary permissions to view and interact with the project.

  4. Project is archived or deleted: The project might have been archived or deleted by its owner or an administrator. In this case, you will not be able to find it using the search bar.

  5. Network issues or delays: If there are network issues or delays in loading the page, it might take some time for the search results to appear. Refresh your browser and try searching again after a few seconds.

  6. Browser cache issues: Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try searching for the project again.

If you still cannot find the project after trying these steps, contact your organization's administrator or Information Hub support for further assistance.
