Introducing Rovo Search for Jira

[#1]

We’re introducing Rovo Search in Jira and rolling it out gradually so we can gather feedback and iterate quickly. You’ll start by seeing the new result recommendations as you type in the search field. If you want to search across all your Atlassian and connected apps press Cmd+Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows/Linux). You will still get the normal Jira issue navigator results page by default when you press Enter.

What’s new

• Find what you need quickly: See recommended, relevant results as you type - no more digging through navigation or remembering exact issue keys

• Smarter, intent-aware results: Rovo understands what you mean, not just the keywords you type

• Personalized suggestions: Get contextual suggestions based on your recent work and collaborators

• Jira-first, cross-app when you choose: Press Enter to get Jira’s issue navigator results page. Press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows/Linux) from the search field to open Rovo Search, searching across all your Atlassian and connected third-party apps

Quality you can trust

Our goal is to deliver latency and relevance on par with the current Jira search experience from day one. But we’re not stopping there - just as we’ve done in Confluence, we’ll continue to improve speed, accuracy, and engagement over time. In Confluence, Rovo Search has already improved our primary quality metric (+10%) and reduced latency while loading results. You can learn more about how we measure and improve Rovo Search quality here.

What’s next

• Gradual, experiment-based rollouts to a subset of Standard, Premium, and Enterprise customers who have AI enabled. Customers in highly regulated industries, customers that have enabled a release track, and those on Free plans are excluded for now. Selection is randomized; we are not inviting sign-ups at this stage.

• We are aiming to start broader rollout for eligible Jira customers at the end of September or early October.

• Over time, we plan to expand what’s indexed (for example, better attachment and comment support) to address long-standing requests.

We can’t wait for you to try Rovo Search in Jira and see how much faster and easier it is to find your work!
