If you click on the name of the topic board on the top left you will get a dropdown list of all topic boards in the project.
All topic boards
At the bottom of this list in the topic boards dropdown you will see the option All topic boards. Here the topics from all boards will be combined. This can be useful for finding a topic of which you are not sure in which topic board it was made.
