Product update: Introducing Global Search

At ProBackup, we understand that data loss doesn’t always look like a catastrophic server failure. Often, it is subtler: a single task deleted by accident, a comment lost in a busy project, or a record moved to the wrong board.

Recovering that data relies on one crucial factor: finding it quickly.

Previously, our search functionality allowed you to find records within a specific table - requiring you to select the exact project, board, or list first. While effective, this required you to know exactly where the item was located before it went missing.

Today, we are upgrading that experience. We are excited to announce the launch of Global Search, a powerful new way to navigate your backups.

How Global Search works

We have rebuilt our search engine to look beyond individual tables. The new Global Search allows you to query your entire backup history instantly across all hierarchies of your SaaS application .

When you type a query, our system now scans across all tasks, records, comments, file names, documents and field names.

Whether you are backing up Asana, Trello, ClickUp, or Monday , you no longer need to remember which specific board a missing item belonged to. If it is in the backup, Global Search will find it.

How to use it

We have designed this feature to be as frictionless as possible to help you save time during critical recovery moments:

1. Access your backups: Navigate to the data backups of one of your connected apps.
2. Locate the Search Bar: Click the search bar located prominently in the menu bar.
3. Search: Type in your text (record name, content, or keyword).
4. View: The items matching your text will appear in the results. Simply click on a record to jump directly to the item view, where you can inspect the details or initiate a restore.

Availability and Pricing

We want every customer to experience the power of this new tool, but because searching across thousands of encrypted records requires significant processing power, availability varies by plan:

• Pro and Premium Users: Global Search is fully available with no limitations. You can search your entire archive as often as you need.
• Plus Users: We have enabled a trial of this feature restricted to 3 searches per day so you can test the functionality.

Reducing Mean Time To Recovery

Data resilience isn't just about having a backup; it is about the "Mean Time to Recovery" (MTTR). By removing the need to click through specific projects to find a lost item, Global Search significantly reduces the time it takes to fix human errors or glitches , letting your team get back to work faster.
