NumberOfComments is not available in filters after enabling the Jira Toolkit PlugIn. Why?

Question

I enabled the JIRA ToolKit PlugIn for my OnDemand JIRA account.

I refreshed my filters page, but I cannot add NumberOfComments to any filters.

Ah, I see, you hadn't even created the field yet!

Actually, all I had to do was add it to my custom fields.

Check that it has a "searcher" enabled for it - go to "custom fields" and use "edit" on the field to see that (I prefer the number range searcher)

Once you've checked that, you will need to reindex the system before it has any data to work with.
