<< Back to Issue Tracker

Do you want to find something specific in the Public Issue Tracker, or just scan in general to see if your bug might already be reported by someone else?

Parameters

• JIRA searching is easy once you know a bit about the parameters you may use.
• For instructions on searching in JIRA, please visit JIRA query syntax and JIRA quick search.

Perform a search

• First, click on the "Find Issues" link at the top of the screen.
• Next, enter the parameters you wish to search for in the search pane on the left-hand side of the screen.
• As an example, if I wish to search for issues that have not been resolved containing the word "avatar", I would choose the following parameters:
  • Project = all projects
  • Text search = avatar
  • Resolutions = Unresolved
• Another sample search would be for any issues that are fixed in the last week in a particular project. For example, I want to find all bugs in the Second Life Viewer project that were resolved between February 1, 2007 and February 14, 2007. I would enter the following parameters:
  • (Optional: Click the "New" link in the search pane to clear settings from any previous searches)
  • Project = Second Life Viewer
  • Resolution = Fixed
  • Updated After = January 31, 2007
  • Updated Before = February 15, 2007

Saving a search as a Filter

• A search Filter is a saved search that you may share with others.
• After performing a search as described above, you may save it as a filter by clicking the "Save" link in the Search pane.
• Name the filter something meaningful, for example "Unresolved avatar bugs in all projects."
• Now you can access the search and run it at any time by clicking the "Filter" link in the top right-hand side of the page. This saves time and effort, especially if you frequently run the same complex search and want a handy shortcut!
