About a year ago, if you was to go to the 'you' tab and then 'activities' tab, you could then used the 'search by keyword' function. This used to search BOTH the title and the description of your activities. Now it ONLY search the title which is really really frustrating as for years I've logged activities by useful information in the description section and not the title. 

 

If the search by keyword can be switched back to look at both the title and description is think that would be great. It makes no sense what so ever not to look at the description!

Seems to work fine for me. I searched for pretty unique words in the description only, like “riverboat” and “havoc” and activities from both recent time and two years ago. I was able to find my search terms. Can you do a test directly, by manually finding an activity with some term you want, and then searching for it without returning said activity?

@Billy Prescott - activity Description should be searchable in the mobile app. We are not able to reproduce this from our side so could you please confirm that you are still coming across this issue?

The issue seems to be sorted. My phone recently had an update and maybe this helped fix the issue.
