Can we limit Empty JQL search result in JIRA?

Can we limit Empty JQL search result in JIRA? If Yes,

when the User clicks on 'Search For Issues' > Issues Menu an empty JQL is requested. My instance has 1 Million issues due to which it takes time to load empty JQL query.

just by appending JQL query to empty JQL request, for example:

Empty JQL request: https://jira-dev.xxx.com/issues/?jql=

https://jira-dev.xxx.com/issues/?jql=createdDate%20%3D%20currentLogin()%20

Can we improve the performance by not loading all issues for empty JQL?

Not sure which version you're on, but in 7.9 a feature was added to make it so empty JQL queries can return no results. 

Look for "Disable empty JQL queries"

If you didn't update JIRA configuration, by default it will display on 1000 issues as max limit.

You can check the Advanced setting from System ---> General Configuration ---> Advanced setting and check the value for this property "jira.search.stable.max.results".

Hi Muhammet Adel,

Thanks for the reply, I am using the default settings of JIRA.

jira.search.stable.max.results is set to 1000.

Empty JQL request (https://jira-dev.xxx.com/issues/?jql=): gives below result

when I tried appending JQL string to empty JQL request (https://jira-dev.xxx.com/issues/?jql=assignee%20%3D%20kiranp%20 ): gives only a few issues in result But it takes almost same time as empty JQL.

How do I improve performance here?
