How do I do a text search of the closed tickets for a Board/project?

[Linda Schoales]

I'm trying to find an old ticket (closed) but when I do a text search I can't limit the search by my Board.  This seems pretty basic.

I can't always remember who worked on the ticket so filtering by Assignee doesn't work.  I don't always watch all tickets, either.

A board is nothing more than a graphical representation of the filter used to create it. So I would go to the Board settings and the General screen to copy the filter that exists and then go do a search with that filter and include the 'closed' component.

For example:

board filter > project = abc and component in (1, 2, 3)

then

search > project = abc and component in (1, 2, 3) and status = closed and text ~"your text here"

you can add further qualifiers such as date range to help zero in on the specific one you are looking for.
