Find recent issues
Use quick search to find items that you've worked on recently, like work items, projects, boards, queues, and more.
To use quick search:
Select Search () in the navigation bar (or press
/
on your keyboard).Choose from recent items or type to search.
Optionally, filter the search results by choosing a project or an assignee of a work item.
Select an item or continue to View all work items (press
enter
on your keyboard).
Before you start typing, the quick search shows recent items you’ve worked with, like work items, projects, boards, queues, and filters.
Quick search scours for keywords, which are often first found in the Summary, Description or any text field of a work item. To broaden your search results, opt for advanced search. Read more.
You can perform this action with your keyboard via Jira’s command palette. Use command + K (for Mac) or Ctrl + K (for Windows) to open the command palette while you’re in Jira. Read more about Jira’s command palette
Use smart query commands to search
The quick search field also lets you search more than just text. Here are some smart query search commands you can use.
By default, smart queries will be turned off. To turn them on:
1. In the top right corner of your Jira site, select Settings > Personal settings
2. Scroll down to Jira labs > Quick search smart queries
3. Click the toggle to enable smart queries
