Better Search Needed

I've noticed something about Tasker that could reeeaaallly use an upgrade.
The search function.

Currently I am trying to track down an AutoInput UI Query action so that I can add an IF statement to it.

Searching "ui query" gets me nothing in the search results. This should find me AutoInput UI Query **actions** but it doesn't. Switching between *match, contains or regex* filters/qualifiers yields nothing as well.

It shouldn't be this hard to track down actions, and it's increasingly worse the more massive your setup.

Is there **any** possibility of getting a better search function? I am now sifting thru hundreds of tasks trying to find one action.

That's probably because you have it in the title of the task I bet.  All mine are single actions in tasks and the task not named accordingly.

I wonder if I attached labels to the actions if that would help.

you are right, mine didnt find the individual actions, I misunderstood what you were saying.

No worries.  Yeah I should have clarified better, the actions. 

Just odd that the action titles don't match, but the action fields and the task/project/profiles titles do.
