Search

Every other cyber-asana command takes a GID. search objects is how you get one when all you have is a name.

cyber-asana search objects project "website"
cyber-asana search objects user "ada" --count 5
cyber-asana search objects task --workspace-gid <gid> --toon

Command	Arguments	Options
objects	<resource-type> [query]	--workspace-gid <gid> / --workspace <gid>, --count <number>, --opt-fields <fields>

objects falls back to ASANA_WORKSPACE when --workspace-gid is omitted.

Resource types

Asana accepts exactly one type per call — searching several at once is not supported:

actor, agent, custom_field, goal, portfolio, project, project_template, tag, task, team, user

actor returns users and agents together; agent returns only Asana’s first-party AI teammates.

Omitting [query] still returns results — the top of the ordering for that type, which is a cheap way to see the projects or people most relevant to your token.

This is autocomplete, not search

The typeahead endpoint returns a single page capped by --count (1–100, default 20), ordered by relevance and recency. Asana’s own documentation says not to rely on it for accurate search results, and the result set is explicitly not exhaustive.

There is no pagination, so the shared pagination options — --all, --offset, --limit — do not apply here. Widen the single page with --count instead.

Ordering by type: user is most-contacted first, project is most-recently-touched first, task prioritises tasks you follow, and project_template prioritises favourites.

When you need exhaustive, filterable results, use task search or project search instead — those hit Asana’s real search endpoints.

Output

Results print as a Name / ID / Type table with a count summary, and 0 <type> results found when nothing matches. --toon and --json return the raw array of compact objects. The default field set is gid,name,resource_type; widen it with --opt-fields.
