How to search for work items not whithin the selected project but whithin the whole TFS collection?

Yes, you were supposed to be able to search by work item ID but somehow that got missed. We'll put that in the next update.

Doesn't it seem a little odd we can't search by work item ID?

Does this still violating MS Support agreements? Your last post at blogs.msdn.com/.../update-on-backing-up-tfs-with-sharepoint.aspx stated the Power Tools violated the Support agreement if you used them to backup SharePoint from TFS. I dont see any notations on this new August 2011 Power Tools suggesting that this has been fixed....will it still invalidate SharePoint Support from Microsoft?

The actual statment made before was : “We've done a deeper review with them and they've concluded that the changes we make to Sharepoint DO, in fact, violate the Sharepoint support agreement. As such, I encourage you to uncheck the Sharepoint checkbox in the TFS Backup Power Tool”

Love that the test attachment clean up is now part of the power tools. I'll point some of my clients to uservoice, they have some nice ideas about new settings for that tool :)

@Michael - thanks for the feedback. We'll look to see what we can do in future releases to make Work Item Search more discoverable. Martin

Discoverability of "Work Item Search" is very poor. It is on the toolbox, but neither in the main menu nor in context menu in Team Explorer :-(((

Please improve in next release.

Otherwise, great additions.
