Search list based on Issue number

Hi, 

Why is not possible to search in the List view based on the issue number? For example issue is ABC-123, I want to search in List "123" and be able to show the issue. I think this was possible, but now it isn't, it only searches by name of the issue. Is this happening to you too?

Concur with Nikola, this should be an easy update and there's no discernable reason NOT to do it. Just expand search to look through key # as well as summary and description.

Hi @Nikola Nemjóová ,

if you are referring to the search in the top navigation bar you can't use just the issue number. You can retrieve more information about seach usage at the following link https://support.atlassian.com/jira-work-management/docs/search-for-issues-in-jira/

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hey @Nikola Nemjóová ,

there you can search based a string and not on the issue key.

I was just wondering why I can't search by issue key, because it is possible to do so on board. but not on the List.
