Hopefully it won't be too long, been dying to use the AND/OR support in Projects.

@rileybroughten I just looked at the public roadmap and I wasn't able to find a ticket that referenced project level advanced search. Can you point us to the exact ticket for us to follow?

We don't have a public roadmap item for this yet but I'll be sure to share it once we have more details on when advanced searching in Projects will be supported.

I would also like this functionality on Projects, it would help us build better views.

Hi, with the deprecation of sub-tasks in favour of sub-issues (great, love this) plus the removal as part of that update of filtering within the slicers for project boards, this kind of advanced filtering has become quite important to us.

We used to slice the board by parent-task, and filter those down to issues which had "STORY" in their name AND were open. So our slicer was only showing open stores and the board was only showing the tasks within those stories. This creates a great workflow which allows prioritising the stories, then also prioritising the engineering tasks within those stories in the day-to-day. This workflow is now broken for us, and there isn't really a workaround.

Advanced filtering in projects would probably fix this, along with the new slicer on parent-issue.

It'd be great to get an idea of when this might be released so we can make good planning decisions now regarding our board structure i.e. do we make some big changes to how we structure things, or wait for this feature to become available.

It'd be much appreciated by our team if guidance on when we can expect to see this in projects could be prioritised. Even just a ballpark would be extremely helpful, e.g. a few months, a year, longer than a year.

Thank you for providing this feedback! Currently there is not a way to search through the issue hierarchy and perform hierarchical searches through both the parent issues and sub-issues. I'll note this request and share it with the team 👍

Thank for for these notes!

As for the default search filter, we don't currently have plans to change the default sort or allow you to customize it, but will keep this feedback in mind in case that changes. Noted on the feedback for the clear filter action as well, as it currently brings you back to default filter rather than clearing out all of the input.

I am not able to reproduce this on my end as I am given an extra space when clicking into the filter bar. Let me know if there are any other details that can help us look into this, such as how you are navigating to the filter bar on a page and whether this happens all of the time across all of your repositories.

Ah, I think it might be due to me clicking "too soon". If I wait until the page fully stabilizes then there is an extra space, but if I click as soon as the bar appears then once it finishes loading my cursor is just before the space.

For the record, I would still like something to change so that I can click when the bar appears, rather than needing to wait for the page to finish loading (which can take several seconds).

Thank you for reporting this! I can reproduce it on my end so will pass it along to the team to investigate 👍

We've just pushed a fix for this 🚀 Let me know if you encounter any issues moving forward. Thank you again for raising this!

Yeah, now works fine. Thanks for the fix!

Are you curious about whether you can specify the default issue type in your templates? If so, you can use the type field in your issue forms and templates, documentation is found here. Let me know if that answers your question!

Yes. It worked. Thank you very much !

Thanks for reporting this! I can reproduce it so will pass it along to the team 👍

We pushed a fix for this - let me know if you have any issues!

Thank you for reporting this! I can reproduce this so I've passed this along to the team and will keep you posted with any updates on our end.

This has been fixed! Let us know if you're still encountering this issue 👍

Thank you for reporting this! @daisukes could you share more about the browser and operating system so our team can investigate further?

Yes. This has happened with Firefox/Ubuntu20.04 so far. Firefox is 134.0.

• X Firefox/Ubuntu20.04/Japanese IME: Mozc
• O Google Chrome/Ubuntu20.04/Japanese IME: Mozc
• O Firefox/macOS15.2
• O Google Chrome/macOS15.2
• O Safari/macOS15.2

Thank you! I've passed this along to the team to investigate.

Thank you for reporting this. I can reproduce it on my end so I've passed this along to the team to investigate and will provide updates!

This appears to have been fixed today.

Yes we just pushed a fix today! Let us know if you encounter any other issues 👍

We recently added support for advanced searching to the issues dashboard at github.com/issues, check out the changelog.

You can use a query like this: is:pr AND (org:A OR org:B)

Check out the changelog which details the recently released API support, but on Sept 4, 2025 all issues queries will use advanced search by default. For now you can utilize the optional parameter / type to utilize advanced search.

Nvm, I found it : no:parent-issue or has:sub-issue

Maybe the new defaut should be is:issue state:open no:parent-issue ?

Similarly reported on the meta-thread with response from maintainer: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/148713#discussioncomment-12532258

This is coming soon! 😁

Check out the changelog!

Awesome, thanks!

As we've shipped the GA for Issues today, we are closing this discussion. Please direct all Issues and Projects feedback in the Evolving GitHub Issues and Projects (GA) discussion. Thank you!
