@Kevin FahyWelcome to the community!

The extension need your Jira's base URL, i.e. URL you use to access your Jira.

@DPKJ Thank you for your reply!!  I thought so as well, but I was confused by the text that said the url NEEDED to end in an "=" which made no sense. I entered the obvious url that we use, omitting only the Jira number (our url has a dash before the Jira number, not an equals sign), and it is working.

Not sure why the plugin is stating that the url needs to end in an "=" Apparently the statement is incorrect

Oh! I guess extension you are using (do send me a link for verification) is asking you complete search URL. As per the screenshot above,

• it need full search URL, with search parameter ending with '=' to take value from search field in plugin.
• Take a look at this - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17239740/add-jira-quick-search-to-chrome-omnibox
• As per above link, you need put URL '<JIRA_BASE_URL>/issues/jql='

Hello DPK J

Your first answer helped, and your second answer was very confusing and I did not understand much of the link either. I solved this after your first answer by entering the normal url except for the part after "/browse."

I have come to the conclusion that after opening the plugin it has misleading/incorrect/outdated instructions. The advertisement of the plugin at the link below uses a screenshot perhaps from a previous version or some place I am unaware of and this advertised screenshot correctly says to enter the url normally used, but skip the part after "browse/." After opening the plugin, the actual instructions that I pasted a screenshot of at the top were the source of confusion
