While working on a Jira issue sometimes you want to run a quick search for an issue within the same project. Unfortunately, the native Jira quick search function does not limit the search within the current project.
I share here a way to run a quick search from an issue within the same project. It is implemented in AutoHotkey and available in my PowerTool QuickSearch functionality.
Status-quo/ Problem description
When using the Quick Search box in Jira the search does not limit the search scope to the same project as the current issue you are working on. (See this Jira request)
So that you always have to explicitly refine the search with a project query.
It would be much more convenient if this project filter were automatically taken-over from the current issue.
Solution implemented in AutoHotkey
The implementation of the Jira QuickSearch feature can be found in Lib/Jira.ahk -> Jira_Search function.
It doesn't require a Jira authentication. It will extract the project key from the current issue Url.
The solution is also a bit intelligent as it will handle wildcards for you, as explained in this separate post Jira Partial Text Search.
PowerTool usage
The Jira Quick Search is implemented in the NWS PowerTool QuickSearch functionality.
You can run it from your Browser Window.
The Hotkey assigned to run the QuickSearch is Win+F (F like Find)
