Search Query Reference

This page provides a list of attributes and keywords that are used in YouTrack query language. You'll also find a complete list of operators, symbols, and relative date parameters that are recognized in search queries.

Issue Attributes

Every issue has base attributes that are set automatically by YouTrack. These include the issue ID, the user who created or applied the last update to the issue, and so on.

These search attributes represent an <Attribute> in the Search Query Grammar. Their values correspond to the <Value> or <ValueRange> parameter.

Attribute-based search uses the syntax attribute: value.

You can specify multiple values for the target attribute, separated by commas.
Exclude specific values from the search results with the syntax attribute: -value.

In many cases, you can omit the attribute and reference values directly with the # or - symbols. For additional guidelines, see Attribute-based Search.

attachments

attachments: <text>

Returns issues that include attachments with the specified filename.

Values	Accepts text. If the filename contains spaces, set multiple words in quotes or braces.
Example	To find unresolved issues that are assigned to me and have an attachment with a filename that starts with sketch, enter `#unresolved for: me attachments: sketch*`.

Board

Board <board name>: <sprint name>

Returns issues that are assigned to the specified sprint on the specified agile board. To find issues that are assigned to agile boards with sprints disabled, use has: <board name>.

Values

Accepts the name of a sprint. Enclose sprint names with more than one word in braces.

Substitute the sprint name with {current sprint} to find issues that are assigned to the current sprint. To learn how YouTrack identifies the current sprint, see The Current Sprint.

This attribute can also be referenced as a single value with the syntax #<sprint name> or -<sprint name>.

Example

To find all issues that are assigned to sprint 21 on the YouTrack Scrum board, enter Board YouTrack Scrum: {sprint 21}.

code

code: <text>

Returns issues that contain word forms that match the specified word or words that are formatted as code in the issue description or comments.

In YouTrack Wiki, this includes matches inside {code} markup tags.
In Markdown, this includes matches that are formatted as inline code spans, indented and fenced code blocks, and stack traces.

Values	Accepts text. Values are parsed as described for Text Search.
Example	To find unresolved issues in the TS project with the words hello and world that are formatted as code in a description or comment, enter `in: TS #unresolved code: {hello world}`.

commented

commented: <date> | <period>

Returns issues to which comments were added on the specified date or within the specified period.

Values

Accepts a date, custom period, or relative date parameter.

This attribute also accepts a user or group, but the unfiltered list of auto-completion options shows date-related values first. To see suggestions for users and groups, use the commenter attribute.

Example

To find all issues in the YouTrack project that are assigned to the current user and were commented during the last week, enter #YouTrack for: me commented: {Last Week}.

commenter

commenter: <user> | <group>

Returns issues that were commented by the specified user or by a member of the specified group.

Values	Accepts a user or group.
Aliases	commented by
Example	To find all issues which were created today, assigned to the current user, and commented by the user with the login John, enter `created: today for: me commenter: John`.

comments

comments: <text>

Returns issues that contain word forms that match the specified word or words in a comment.

Values	Accepts text. Values are parsed as described for Text Search.
Example	To find issues in the JT project with the type Feature in the Agile management subsystem that contain the word burndown in one or more comments, enter `in: JT #Feature Subsystem: {Agile management} comments: burndown`.

created

created: <date> | <period>

Returns issues that were created on a specific date or within a specified time frame.

Values	Accepts a date, custom period, or relative date parameter. This attribute also accepts a user or group, but the unfiltered list of auto-completion options shows date-related values first. To see suggestions for users and groups, use the reporter attribute.
Example	To find all issues that were created today and are assigned to the current user, enter `#my #issues created: today` or `#my created: today`.

description

description: <text>

Returns issues that contain word forms that match the specified word or words in the issue description.

Values	Accepts text. Values are parsed as described for Text Search.
Example	To find unresolved issues in the GR project with the string groovy.lang.resolve.CollectClassMembersUtil in the description, enter `in: GR #unresolved description: "groovy.lang.resolve.CollectClassMembersUtil"`.

has

has: <attribute>

The has keyword functions as a Boolean search term. When used in a search query, it returns all issues that contain a value for the specified attribute. Use the minus operator (-) before the specified attribute to find issues that have empty values.

For example, to find all issues in the TST project that are assigned to the current user, have a duplicates link, have attachments, but do not have any comments, enter in: TST for: me has: duplicates , attachments , -comments.

You can use the has keyword in combination with the following attributes:

Attribute	Description
attachments	Returns issues that have attachments. Before the `has` syntax was introduced, we supported this query with the keyword `{has attachments}`. This syntax is still supported for backward compatibility, but is not shown as an option in auto-completion.
Board <board name>	Returns issues that are assigned to the specified agile board.
comments	Returns issues that have one or more comments.
description	Returns issues that do not have an empty description.
<field name>	Returns issues that contain any value in the specified custom field. Enclose field names that contain spaces in braces.
<link type name>	Returns issues that have links that match the specified outward name or inward name. Enclose link names that contain spaces in braces.
links	Returns issues that have any issue link type.
star	Returns issues that have the star tag for the current user.
vcs changes	Returns issues that contain vcs changes.
votes	Returns issues that have one or more votes.
work	Returns issues that have one or more work items.

issue ID

issue ID: <issue ID>, #<issue ID>

Returns an issue that matches the specified issue ID. This attribute can also be referenced as a single value with the syntax #<issue ID> or -<issue ID>. When the search returns a single issue, the result is displayed in single issue view.

If you don't use the syntax for an attribute-based search (issue ID: <value> or #<value>), the input is also parsed as a text search. In addition to any issue that matches the specified issue ID, the search results include any issue that contains the specified ID in any text attribute.
If you set the issue ID in quotes, the input is only parsed as a text search. The search results only include issues that contain the specified ID in a text attribute.

Note that even when an issue ID is parsed as a text search, the results do not include issue links. To find issues based on issue links, use the links attribute or reference a specific link type.

Values

Accepts only an issue ID.

Example

To find an issue with the ID JT-4232, enter issue ID: JT-4232 or #JT-4232.

If you enter the search as JT-4232, the results include the issue JT-4232 and any issue that contains this substring in the summary, description, or comment text.
If you enter the search as "JT-4232", the results only include issues that contain this substring in the summary, description, or comment text.

Custom Fields

You can find issue that are assigned specific values in a custom field. As with other issue attributes, you use the syntax attribute: value or attribute: -value. In this case, the attribute is the name of the custom field. In most cases, you can reference values directly with the # or - symbols.

For custom fields that are assigned an empty value, you can reference this property as a value. For example, to search for issues that are not assigned to a specific user, enter Assignee: Unassigned or #Unassigned. If the field is not assigned an empty value, find issues that do not store a value in the field with the syntax <field name>: {No <field name>} or has: -<field name>.

This section lists the search attributes for default custom fields. Note that default fields and their values can be customized. The actual field names, values, and aliases may vary.

You can search for issues that are linked to a specific issue. If you simply want to find any issues that are linked to a target issue, use the links attribute. Otherwise, you can find issues that are linked to a target issue by a specific link type. When you specify these attributes, enter the outward name or inward name of any issue link type, then specify the target issue.

The following search attributes are associated with the default issue link types. Note that the default issue link types can be customized. The actual names may vary.

Time Tracking

There is a dedicated set of search attributes that you can use to find issues that contain time tracking data. These attributes look for specific values that have been added as work items to an issue.

work author

work author: <user>

Returns issues that have work items that were added by the specified user.

Values	Only accepts a user.
Example	To find all issues in the 'TST' project that have work items that were added by the current user, enter: `in: TST work author: me`

work type

work type: <value>

Returns issues that have work items that are assigned the specified work item type. The query work type: {No type} returns issues that have work items that are not assigned a work item type.

Values	Accepts a predefined work item type.
Example	To find all issues in the 'TST' project that have work items that are assigned the `Development` work item type, enter: `in: TST work type: Development`

work date

work date: <date> | <period>

Returns issues that have work items that are recorded for the specified date or within the specified time frame.

Values	Accepts a date, custom period, or relative date parameter.
Example	To find all issues in the 'TST' project that have work items that were added last week, enter: `in: TST work date: {Last week}`

Sort Attributes

You can specify the sort order for the list of issues that are returned by the search query.

You can sort issues by any of the attributes on the following list. In the Search Query Grammar, these attributes represent the <SortAttribute> value.

sort by

sort by: <value> <sort order>

Sorts issues that are returned by the query in the specified order.

Values	You can sort issues by values from the following attributes: star, updated, updater, {resolved date}, project, reporter, {issue id}, votes, summary, and <custom field>.
Sort Order	asc, desc
Aliases	order by
Example	To find all issues with the Fixed state that were either assigned to or reported by the current user, and sort them by the date of the last update in descending order, displaying the most recently updated issue first, enter `#my #fixed sort by: updated desc`.

When you perform a text search, the results can be sorted by relevance. You cannot specify relevance as a sort attribute. For more information, see Sorting by Relevance.

Keywords

There are a number of values that can be substituted with a keyword. When you use a keyword in a search query, you do not specify an attribute. A keyword is preceded by the number sign (#) or the minus operator. In the YouTrack Search Query Grammar, these keywords correspond to a <SingleValue>.

me

References the current user. This keyword can be used as a value for any attribute that accepts a user.

When used as a single value (#me) the search returns issues that are assigned to, reported by, or commented by the current user.

For example, to find unresolved issues that are assigned to, reported by, or contain comments from the current user, enter #me -Resolved.

The results also include issues that contain references to the current user in any custom field that stores values as users. For example, you have a custom field Reviewed by that stores a user type. The search query #me -Resolved also includes issues that reference the current user in this custom field.

my

An alias for me.

Resolved

This keyword references the Resolved issue property. This property is set based on the current value or combination of values for any custom field that stores a state type. In the default State field, the Resolved property is enabled for the values Fixed, Won't fix, Duplicate, Incomplete, Obsolete, and Can't reproduce.

For projects that use multiple state-type fields, the Resolved property is only true when all of the state-type fields are assigned values that are considered to be resolved.

For example, to find all resolved issues that were updated today, enter #Resolved updated: Today.

Unresolved

This keyword references the Unresolved issue property. This property is set based on the current value or combination of values for any custom field that stores a state type. In the default State field, the Resolved property is disabled for the values Submitted, Open, In Progress, Reopened, and To be discussed.

For projects that use multiple state-type fields, the Unresolved property is true when any state-type fields is assigned a value that is not considered to be resolved.

For example, to find all unresolved issues that are assigned to the user john.doe in the Test project, enter #Unresolved project: Test for: john.doe.

Released

This keyword references the Released property for values in a field that stores a version type. It can only be used together with the attribute name or alias for a version field. This means that it cannot be referenced as a single value.

With fields that store multiple values, the search query returns issues for which at least one of the versions that is stored in the field is marked as released.

For example, to find all issues in the Test project that are fixed in a version that has not yet been released, enter in: Test fixed in: -Released.

Archived

This keyword references the Archived property for values in a field that stores a version type. It can only be used together with the attribute name or alias for a version field. This means that it cannot be referenced as a single value.

With fields that store multiple values, the search query only returns issues for which all of the versions that are stored in the field are marked as archived.

For example, to find all issues in the Test project that are fixed in a version that has been archived, enter in: Test fixed in: Archived.

Operators

The search query grammar applies default semantics to search queries that do not contain explicit logical operators.

Searches that include multiple values for a single attribute are treated as disjunctive. This means that the values are handled as if joined by an OR operator. For example, State: {In Progress}, {To be discussed} returns issues that are assigned either one or the other of these two states.
For text search, searches that include multiple words are treated as conjunctive. This means that the words are handled as if joined by an AND operator. For example, State: Open context usage returns issues that contain matching forms for both "context" and "usage".
Searches that specify values for multiple attributes are treated as conjunctive. This means that the values are handled as if joined by an AND operator. For example, State: {In Progress} Priority: Critical returns issues that are assigned the specified state and priority.

You can override the default semantics by applying explicit operators to the query.

Use the following operators to create logical combinations of attributes in a search query.

Operator	Description	Examples
AND	Combine multiple search attribute subsets to expand the search request. Use this operator for issue fields with `enum[*]` types and tags. The AND-expression is always processed as group and has a higher priority than OR-expressions in the query.	To find all issues in the 'TEST project' that have both the 'Next build' and 'to be tested' tags, enter: `in: TEST and (tag:{Next build} and tag:{to be tested})` To find all issues that have the priority 'Critical' in project 'A' or have the priority 'Major' and are assigned to the current user in project 'B', enter: `in: A #Critical or in: B #Major and for: me`
OR	Combine multiple search attribute subsets to restrict the search request.	To find all issues in the 'TEST' project that are assigned to the current user or have the tag 'to be tested' in any project, enter: `in: TEST for: me or tag: {to be tested}`
( )	Combine various search attributes to change the order in which attributes and operators are processed. The part of a search query inside the parentheses has priority and is always processed as a single unit. A parentheses-expression can be used only as argument for OR- or AND-expressions. For example, the search query `in:A #Critical (in:B and for:me)` cannot be processed.	To find all issues that are assigned to the current user and are either 'Critical' in project 'A' or 'Major' in project 'B', enter: `(in: A #Critical or in: B #Major) and for: me`

Operator

Description

Examples

AND

Combine multiple search attribute subsets to expand the search request. Use this operator for issue fields with enum[*] types and tags.

The AND-expression is always processed as group and has a higher priority than OR-expressions in the query.

To find all issues in the 'TEST project' that have both the 'Next build' and 'to be tested' tags, enter:

in: TEST and (tag:{Next build} and tag:{to be tested})

To find all issues that have the priority 'Critical' in project 'A' or have the priority 'Major' and are assigned to the current user in project 'B', enter:

in: A #Critical or in: B #Major and for: me

Combine multiple search attribute subsets to restrict the search request.

To find all issues in the 'TEST' project that are assigned to the current user or have the tag 'to be tested' in any project, enter:

in: TEST for: me or tag: {to be tested}

( )

Combine various search attributes to change the order in which attributes and operators are processed. The part of a search query inside the parentheses has priority and is always processed as a single unit.

A parentheses-expression can be used only as argument for OR- or AND-expressions. For example, the search query in:A #Critical (in:B and for:me) cannot be processed.

To find all issues that are assigned to the current user and are either 'Critical' in project 'A' or 'Major' in project 'B', enter:

(in: A #Critical or in: B #Major) and for: me

Symbols

The following symbols can be used to extend or refine a search query.

Symbol	Description	Examples
-	Excludes a subset from a set of search query results. When you use this symbol with a single value, do not use the number sign.	To find all unresolved issues except for issues with minor priority and sort the list of results by priority in ascending order, enter `#unresolved -minor sort by: priority asc`.
#	Indicates that the input represents a single value.	To find all unresolved issues in the MRK project that were reported by, assigned to, or commented by the current user, enter `#my #unresolved in: MRK`.
,	Separates a list of values for a single attribute. Can be used in combination with a range.	To find all issues assigned to, reported or commented by the current user, which were created today or yesterday, enter `#my created: Today, Yesterday`.
..	Defines a range of values. Insert this symbol between the values that define the upper and lower ranges. The search results include the upper and lower bounds.	To find all issues fixed in version 1.2.1 and in all versions from 1.3 to 1.5, enter `fixed in: 1.2.1, 1.3 .. 1.5`. To find all issues created between March 10 and March 13, 2018, enter `created: 2018-03-10 .. 2018-03-13`.
*	Wildcard character. Its behavior is context-dependent. When used with the `..` symbol, substitutes a value that determines the upper or lower bound in a range search. The search results are inclusive of the specified bound. When used in an attribute-based search, matches zero or more characters at the end of an attribute value. For more information, see Wildcards in Attribute-based Search. When used in text search, matches zero or more characters in a string. For more information, see Wildcards in Text Search.	To find all issues created on or before March 10, 2018, enter `created: * .. 2018-03-10` To find issues that are have tags that start with `refactoring`, enter `tag: refactoring`. To find unresolved issues that contain image attachments in PNG format, enter `#Unresolved attachments: .png`.
?	Matches any single character in a string. You can only use this wildcard to search in attributes that store text. For more information, see Wildcards in Text Search.	To find issues that contain the words "prioritize" or "prioritise" in the issue description, enter `description: prioriti?e`
{ }	Encloses attribute values that contain spaces.	To find all issues with the Fixed state that have the tag to be tested, enter `#Fixed tag: {to be tested}`.

Date and Period Values

Several search attributes reference values that are stored as a date. You can search for dates as single values or use a range of values to define a period.
