Why does a search for JQL perfectly confuse users?

[Anselmo]

The best Google hit I found for "JQL" was this blog post: Search JIRA like a boss with JQL

But following the highly recommended favorite link there, is completely misleading (not my sense of humor).

In all of the split spaces (what the heck...) I don't have a good hit with the term "JQL" anymore, besides the fact, that the titles of those three new clouds don't tell me at all, what to expect there. "Core" is bullshit and depends highly on the target group which claims for itself what's core from its very specific perspective.

For me as a stupid user it is essential not to make choices first, if I want to learn something new. I request to be guided adequately! But this went totally wrong and I'm really pissed.

Hi - I think this is done by just using the standard URL and selecting the 'Remember my login on this computer' checkbox on log in.

It is however, possible to set a bookmark to log you in automatically using the following URL http://<jirainstance>/secure/Dashboard.jspa?os_username=<username>&os_password=<password> however this will show your password in the URL as it is not encoded.

Thanks Luke.

It's not exactly what I was looking for, but I think it could work anyway.

[edit]: Worked and I'm going to use this one. Thanks, again.

Ah - you may need to install the SU Plugin on your instance. We have this installed but I believed the above parameters were out-the-box.

What version of Jira are you using?
