When searching by Text within Jira what is it searching within the database?

v-kevin.leung

Wondering if anyone knows if you are searching by Text ~ is it traversing all the columns/fields within Jira or is it just searching the description, comments, posts? Or are there other specific fields or areas that it is targeting? Are attachments being searched as well and are those indexed when attached to issues?

Thank you.

Hi @v-kevin.leung

Welcome to the community!

The JQL field "text" as in text ~ "some words" searches an issue's Summary, Description, Environment, and Comments. It also searches all text custom fields.
