How do I use a quick filter?

[Simon Hancock]

Hi, I am trying to create a filter within JWM for a group of components. I have created the filter and saved it but I then cannot see it anywhere within JWM. If I drop down the options from the filter there is no option to choose a created one? Can anyone help please?

Mark,

Please find out below our documentation regarding the Search Indexing process, hope it helps to clarify this matter.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Search+Indexing

The indexes are stored on <jira-home>/caches/indexes directory.

Cheers

L.F

Prior to version 6.3.5, without an additional plugin such as Jamie Echlin's Script Runner, reindex was a reindex of all issues. In 6.3.5, Atlassian added the option to reindex the issues in a single project.

Jira uses the Lucene text search engine and the Lucene index is stored in the file system.

Udo, Thanks.

So is it reindexing the project or the entire JIRA instance?

[Udo Brand]

The entire instance.

It is reindexing JIRA internally and NOT your database.
