Search interface and options in JIRA
As an information system, JIRA comes fully loaded with features and options to search for data. JIRA comes with three search options:
- Quick/text search: This allows you to search for issues quickly through simple text-based search queries
- Basic/simple search: This lets you specify issue field criteria via intuitive UI controls
- Advanced search: This lets you construct powerful search queries with JIRA's own search language, JIRA Query Language (JQL)
However, before we start looking into the in-depth details of all the search options JIRA provides, let's first take a look at the main search interface that you will be using in JIRA while performing your searches.
