Change default search scope for Search field in upper right corner from Global to Open Tasks
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Could we consider defaulting the Search bar at the top right to filter to Open Tasks? The first thing I do after making the search is switch to Open and Task document type in order to find useful results.

Not sure if this is a new feature, but when you change the filter it posts to /settings/adjust/?key=search-scope. So you should only need to change it once. But the default can also be changed for everyone by administrators in the global default settings page.

That is not working for me. I see that "Open" is the default checkbox now, but the "Document type" is always empty until I populate it with "Task".

The search scope is "Current Application" if you're in a Phab task. The search scope is global if you're on e.g. the Phab front page.
In general I recommend to use https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/ for searching tasks.
