Hello, Atlassian Community! 

Thanks for sharing feedback on the quick search behavior, in particular regarding the use of smart query as a default search mode. Following your suggestions, we've changed this configuration in the recent Jira platform release!

What has changed?

You can now decide which search mode you'd like to use by default: smart query or text search. This setting is available in your User profile, in the Preferences section.

Very good to hear that disabling smart query has been shipped for Data Center.

Do you have any idea of when such an option will reach Cloud too?

@Kalin U Thanks, unfortunately I have no idea.

For other Cloud-interested fellows, this is the suggestion in Atlassian's public Jira tracker: JRACLOUD-59121 Disabling Smart Query in JIRA would be helpful 

[Kalin U]

It was just announced in JRACLOUD-59121 that this has come to Jira Cloud as well:

We’re pleased to let you know that we’ve completed this work, and Smart Query will now be disabled for users by default.

The setting can be controlled in the Jira personal settings page.

This update has begun rolling out. We expect it to be completed by June 21, and will then close this request.
