How to search for a word in ticket comments?

DHSV

I'm dealing with a ticket that has a lot of comments, but they auto-collapse into 10-comment chunks which don't appear to be searchable until I manually expand each one.

I'm not finding a button to search all of the ticket's comments... I can only use my browser search Ctrl+F.

Hi @DHSV ,

To be honest I do not find quicker way than CTRL+F on my browser to find specific word in a comment.. Filter (or search) would work in a similar way, so not saving much time here..

If you are dealing with comments that are collapsed maybe you can turn this feature OFF. This is how you can do it..

If you want to find an issue that include specific phrase in the comment you simply use JQL and "text ~ findthis"

DHSV

Thanks.

That link says "This article only applies to Atlassian's server products.", and we have Cloud.

I'll try JQL.

Mirek

Yes, Cloud have limits when you want to customize it for your own needs. Hope it would change someday.

DHSV

I tried JQL and it always says 0 search results... maybe I'm not sure how you're saying I should use it.

In current Jira version I am using, it is allowing to search with filter option "Comment".

We just need to add text what we want to search for in stories.

It displays those stories where comment holds the given text in Comment filter criteria.
