How do I enable smart query searching?

[Neal Applebaum]

Since our recent migration/upgrade, smart query no longer works. For example "my open bugs" just searches for that in the text across all projects - excuse me - SPACES. Where is the setting to enable it? My JITA Admin has no idea either

Hi @Neal Applebaum ,
If you are on Premium or Enterprise Jira plan, "ASK AI" option will be available where you can use smart queries in the global search.
Organization admin would have to enable the Atlassian AI features for Jira app at global level to use these features.

Hello @Neal Applebaum 

Find recent work items | Jira Cloud | Atlassian Support

To turn it on, click your profile icon in the top right, go to Personal settings, scroll down to the Jira labs section, and enable Quick search smart queries.

Once that's active, you can use the global search bar at the top (or just press /) to type shorthand phrases like "my open bugs." Just keep in mind that this is separate from the newer natural-language AI search via Rovo, which does require your site admin to enable globally.

Best
