JQL Search Extensions (Cloud)

JQL Search Extensions for Jira Cloud (JSE) adds 50+ JQL functions and keywords not available in native Jira advanced search to improve the speed, precision, and relevance of your issue searches. Your queries can be saved as filters and used anywhere you would use a standard Jira filter.

What’s the difference between Extended Search and Jira’s advanced search?

Extended Search

Extended Search is JSE’s issue search feature for Jira Cloud. Here, you can expand on Jira’s native search using JSE functions and keywords, save your queries as filters, and then use them in Jira in future searches and reporting.

To open the Extended Search page, in the top navigation bar in Jira, select Apps > JQL Search Extensions for Jira. Go to the Extended Search topic to learn more. JSE Cloud functions can only be used with Extended Search.

Advanced search

Advanced search is Jira’s native JQL issue search feature. It lets you search across all projects in your instance using Jira Query Language (JQL). You can save your queries as filters then use them in reporting features and share them with others to facilitate their searching and reporting tasks. JSE Cloud keywords can be used in Extended Search and Advanced search.
