Description

good first issue

Search tasks by assignee name in search bar 👤

File: client/src/pages/Dashboard.jsx

Search only matches title and snippets 💀
Can't search "show me all of John's tasks" fr!!

Fix: extend search filter:
const filteredTasks = tasks.filter(t => {
const q = searchQuery.toLowerCase()
return (
t.title.toLowerCase().includes(q) ||
t.assignee?.name?.toLowerCase().includes(q) ||
t.tags?.some(tag => tag.toLowerCase().includes(q)) ||
t.snippets?.some(s =>
s.code.toLowerCase().includes(q))
)
})

// show search hint:

Search by title, assignee, tag or snippet

~8 lines! No backend needed 🎯
Makes search actually useful!! 🔥
