Backlog search with multiple keywords, what's the way?

BARBANS Uldis

In my backlog I have an issue titled "Please bar, do baz, kthx", for example.

If I try to search my backlog using the search field, I get nonsensical behavior:

* bar does find the issue, as expected

* baz does find the issue, as expected

* bar baz does not find the issue, unexpectedly

Tried typing `bar OR baz`, `bar AND baz`, and similar... Does not seem to work in the backlog search field.

Hi @BARBANS Uldis , what do you mean by nonsensical? Can you share a screenshot of your search? I tested one of my projects and it works ok.

BARBANS Uldis

Nonsensical in the sense that it does not find the issue. I marked the nonsensical outcome with the word "unexpectedly".

Unfortunately can't share internal screenshots...

BTW I checked that in project's Issues view, the (basic) search field does work as expected, bar baz does find the issue in question, boils down to `text ~ "bar baz"` in JQL terms.

It's the Backlog search field in particular which behaves less sensically.

(A clarifying link coming later maybe. This community portal engine first hacked my html and didn't post, and then it started protesting my repeated attempts to _actually_ post... "You may have recently posted the same thing elsewhere on the community. Update your text, or wait before reposting." I haven't posted the same thing, not once, thanks to you, dear engine...)

Unsure why this would be the case. My suggestions:

check other projects
check using different browsers
check with colleagues
if consistently reproducible contact Atlassian Support

If I use the upmost header bar search (keyboard shortcut /) I can type bar baz and it would show the issue, but the inconvenience is that there the results would be too many by default, covering all projects I have access to.

This question is about the Backlog search (keyboard shortcut f).
