Quick search

JIRA provides a quick search functionality, which allows you to perform quick simple searches based on the text contained in the issue's summary, description, or comments. This allows you to perform quick text-based searches on all issues in JIRA.

The quick search function has several additional features to let you perform more specialized searches with minimal typing, through smart querying. JIRA has a list of built-in queries, which you can use as your quick search terms to pull up issues with a specific issue type and/or status. Some useful queries are included in the following table (you can find the full quick search reference at https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracoreserver072/quick-searching-829092656.html:)
