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

• AI search: Suggested queries based on your previous activity
• See recent work from Jira and selected admin-connected apps

• 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

Before	After

Simplified filter UI

Commonly used filters moved to the top of the search box. Other filters are available via the filters icon.

A new way to search

Jira work item search is still the default when you hit 'enter', but you can now choose to search across all your selected Atlassian and connected apps.

Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on PC) takes you to the new Rovo search in Jira experience.

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 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 will start broader rollout for eligible Jira customers starting September 22nd, and aim to be complete for eligible customers by end of October.

• Over time, we plan to expand what’s indexed (for example, better attachment and comment support, filtering by watched or commented status) 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!

Thanks @Owen Wallis 

We have not enabled or used AI or Rovo as yet ...

Is this something that will still come to our instance (on Premium)? Or is it dependant on having AI enabled?

Thank you

Hi @Yatish Madhav

Thanks for the question

While you won't need AI enabled for the core experience, some features like the AI suggestions are powered by AI - thus would need AI enabled

The ‘before’ version was already more complicated than the earlier one, and now after the update it’s gotten even more complicated (with at least one extra step). How can you even call this a ‘Simplified filter UI’?
