      Atlassian Status as of 12 November 2012

      Hi everyone,

      Thanks so much for your votes and comments on this issue.

      As most of you have seen in the comments below, this issue is resolved in JIRA 5.2!

      In addition to making issue search and issue navigation faster and easier to use, text custom fields are now a part of all quick search and simple search text searches.

      Thanks for your patience and we hope you appreciate our open approach to feature requests.

      Cheers,

      Bryan

      Original Description
      Currently to search for text in a custom field you need edit the search for each field separately. It would be useful if you could add the custom field to the main text query search, like what is done with comments and environment.

            Jira searches all Text-Fields. Number fields are not searchable via quicksearch. see also: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracoreserver073/quick-searching-861257204.html

             BTW: this is an 16 year old issue which was resolved in 2012 (Jira Version 5.2)

            I am unable to search custom fields using the Search bar. 

            and Advanced search returns results but this defeats the object of having a quick "Search" function.

            I have a Jira server Jira v8.10.0 and I can't search custom fields using the quick search in the board's top right search bar. Am I missing something?

            Hi guys,
            As of 5.2 JIRA will search across all text based fields when querying from Quick Search and from Simple Search.

            additionally, we should also be able to search by number, by specific dates (like in JQL). Quick search shouldnt be limited to just ticket number (with PKEY), title and comments.

            guillaume_c, thanks for the feedback.

            No I was initially referring to the ability to swap between advanced and simple searching, however that is now no longer in scope and I have updated my feedback comment accordingly.

            The proposed solution look good.

            When you say "at least for the first implementation of this" does that mean that in a second implementation people will be able to search for text in any field in the simple search, so the quick will be able to return in simple search? Because that would be great.
