## Searching issues in the Backlog list
The very first time you start using the Issue Board, it is very likely your
issue tracker is already populated with labels and issues. In that case,
**Backlog** will have all the issues that don't belong to another list, and
**Done** will have all the closed ones.
For performance and visibility reasons, each list shows the first 20 issues
by default. If you have more than 20, you have to start scrolling down for the
next 20 issues to appear. This can be cumbersome if your issue tracker hosts
hundreds of issues, and for that reason it is easier to search for issues to
move from **Backlog** to another list.
Start typing in the search bar under the **Backlog** list and the relevant
issues will appear.
