As an information system, Jira comes loaded with features and options to search for data and present the search results to end users. Jira comes with three options to perform searches:
- 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)
