In Jira Work Management, when using the 'Search board' option it doesn't search the Description

[Kate Patterson]

Within Jira Work Management specifically, though this article says that within the Board view the 'Search board' option searches both Summary and Description it doesn't appear to.

When I use a string that is within the description but not the summary no cards come up. But if I search that same string in the List view or in Issues it does appear.

Is there a setting related to this I'm missing somehow or is it just broken?

Hey Kate,

Checked this on my side and it looks like you're right. Searching via description text doesn't appear to work on the board view but works on the others. Looks like you found a bug!

Thanks! Wasn't sure if I was missing something obvious haha.

Not at all - great detective work.
