Is it possible to quick search based solely upon a custom field?

[Huuuze]

Our Jira users use the "Quick Search" box frequently. However, they typically want to search based upon the value of a custom field we created. For the sake of discussion, we'll say that field is "ISBN". In other words, if they've created an issue and added the value "1582613575" to the "ISBN" field, then when they use the Quick Search field to query "1582613575", they only want to see issues where that value was entered into that field.

I figured there might be a shorthand way to search in this manner (i.e., "ISBN:1582613575"), but that does not appear to be the case. Is there a way to resolve this issue? Currently, I'm considering creating a OpenSearch plugin , but I'd prefer a simpler solution.

JIRA Quick search doesn't support searching based on custom fields. You should instead use Advanced Searching using JQL (or the usual Simple Search).
