TimeTracker: Allow searching for tasks in the project/task search field #313

Description

Description

Currently, when selecting a project/task in the time tracker, the search field only allows searching for projects. To select a specific task, users first have to find and select the project and then search through its tasks.

It would be more convenient if the search field also searched for tasks directly.

Proposed behavior

When typing into the project/task search field, Clockify should search across both Projects and Tasks

For example, if a task is called "Implement login page", entering login should directly show the task in the search results, without requiring the user to first select its project.

This would make it possible to select a task directly and reduce the number of clicks required to start tracking time.

Motivation

This would be especially useful for users working with projects that contain many tasks. Instead of navigating through:

Project → Task → Select

users could simply search for the task:

Search → Task → Select

This would make task selection faster and improve the overall usability of the time tracker.
