+## Partial-text search
+
+The OpenProject search bar is also configured to support partial-text search. Simply type part of a word, and the system will display matching items.
+
+For example: Entering **"roto"** will return results such as **prototyping**, **prototype**
+
+This feature is especially helpful if you do not remember the exact name of a work package or are unsure of the exact spelling.

+
+## Multi-term text search
+
+You can also search using multiple space-separated terms to narrow down results.
+
+For example: Entering **"de roto"** will match **Design prototyping**.
+
+When you type more than one text, the search will only show results where **all entered terms** appear somewhere in the project or workspace name. This helps you find items faster, even if you only remember parts of the name.

 ## Full-text search

 The OpenProject search bar is configured for full-text search. This means you can search not only headings but also content such as wiki pages or work package descriptions and attachments.
