how to search by key in basic search

[Daniele Margaroli]

Is it possible to search an issue by key in basic search? is only available in quick search or advanced search?

[Jack Brickey]

not from Basic view but you can from Advanced...

issue = ABC-123

of course just using the search (magnifying glass) field is quicker.

Hi @Daniele Margaroli ,

Not sure I clarify understand question. Could You please tell more?

If You have key-XX, You can just open issue directly http://yourjira/browse/key-XX

Where key - it is project key and you can search by "project = key" (also in basic)

You mean search by number without key?

Hi @Andrew ,

thanks for reply. 
I was wondering if there was a way to search for an issue directly from the basic screen.
If I click on "more" in the basic search the KEY field is not present. I will tell users to use the quick search. In the on premise version the quick search is more convenient because it is always available at the top right.

If you just want to search for a single issue you can type the issue key in the search box.

But to search for multiple issue keys you will need to use the Advanced Search.
