Finding an old brief.
Search, date range, status and sort — all instant. Two things are worth knowing up front: the page only loads your 200 most recent briefs, and the search box only matches the verdict and summary.
Search, a date range, a status filter and a sort — all instant, because they run over the briefs already on the page. That last detail is also where the two honest limits come from, so read those two sections before you conclude a brief has vanished.
The toolbar
It sits above the list and sticks to the top as you scroll. Four controls:
- Search — free text. Matches as you type; no Enter needed.
- Date range — All time · Last 7 days · Last 30 days · Last 90 days.
- Status — All statuses · Ready · Approved · Shipped · Skipped · Failed.
- Sort — Newest or Oldest first.
Everything you've applied shows as a chip under the toolbar, with a Clear all next to it and a running count on the right — “14 briefs”. The filters combine: a search term and a range and a status all narrow together.
What the search box matches
Only two fields: the verdict and the brief's short summary. That's the headline call the brief opened with, and the one-line précis behind it.
Competitor names. Signal text. The bodies of your drafted social posts. Blog titles. None of it is searchable. Typing a rival's name and getting nothing back does not mean they were never in a brief — it means their name wasn't in that day's verdict line.
The practical consequence: search is good for finding a brief you half-remember by what it told you to do (“pricing”, “quiet week”, “launch”), and no use at all for finding one by what was in it. For the second job, use the date range.
The 200-brief window
The page loads your 200 most recent briefs and works from those. On a daily cadence that's a little over six months of history.
Everything older still exists — nothing has been deleted, and there is no retention limit — but it isn't loaded into this page, so the toolbar can't see it. A search term that only appears in a brief from ten months ago will come back empty.
There's no “older” page today. If you need something from beyond that window, export the briefs that matter as you go — an HTML or Markdown export is yours to keep and search offline.
Load more
The list renders 20 rows at a time. The Load more button at the bottom tells you exactly how many are left behind it — “Load more (37 left)” — and adds another 20 each press.
Changing a filter resets you to the first 20. Nothing is re-fetched when you press Load more; the rows are already there, so it's instant.
Finding the brief you actually want
You remember roughly when
Set the date range, sort Oldest if you're walking forward through a period, and read down. This is the most reliable route, and the only one that works for finding a brief by its contents.
You remember the call it made
Search a word from the verdict. Keep it to one or two words — it's a plain substring match, not a smart search.
You want everything you acted on
Set Status to Shipped or Approved. That's your proof-of-work list for a client, and it's the fastest thing to export.
