@ankneis Sorry for the direct ping, but you seem to consider this feature to be released according to your comment here: github/roadmap#928 Now that I understand you were working on a very specific "Issues" project I understand that this might not have been part of the project scope and roadmap issue, but are there any plans to release this filtering for "Projects" as well? I never really need |

Just noting that this feature, as is, is essentially useless for our org's workflows. It would however be very valuable in projects/project search. |

We are using these tools extensively on the Auro Design System team at Alaska Airlines. However, we rely primarly on the project views as each of our web components is in it's own repository. I was very jazzed about the advanced search features and equally deflated when I saw that they don't work in projects. I see this conversation goes back 3 months. Would love to know if project support is even being considered. |

Allow to save an advanced query for future use. I'd like to have some favorite queries that I might be using on a daily or weekly basis. Having an option to re-use those would be great, so we don't have to rebuild them every time, or depend on our browser to bookmark them :) |

A bit more feedback here on why bookmarking advanced searches is critical. One key use case is triaging issues that donβt yet have a project assigned. Advanced search enables us to add criteria not available in project views, like filtering for all issues without a project. This is essential for handling incoming bugs or alerts created by tools like Datadog or Freshdesk. These issues are added directly to the repository but donβt automatically get assigned to a project. Without a way to bookmark this search view, we lose efficiency in managing these unassigned issues. Bookmarking would allow us to treat this view as a triage dashboard, making it easy to regularly revisit, organize, and assign these issues to the right projects. Itβs a simple feature that could have a massive impact on improving workflows for teams managing high volumes of incoming requests. |

It took me some fiddling to figure out how to exclude "sub-issues". Using the new filter UI (type into the search field to trigger the dropdpwn, then click "Exclude", then click "Sub-issue") generates the query What ultimately worked is Side note: I think sub-issues should be excluded by the default filter. |

I think itβs missing a "help" link to view the advanced search syntax, like there was in the past. For example I only learned it supports reactions count filtering by looking at this thread :) Otherwise this seems to be working great! |

Searching for basic single-word queries is broken. Actual occurence of the search term is zero in the issue title or body itself - and even the entire thread of discussion on it. |

Having just switched to using Iterations in Projects for Sprints vs Milestone (which is repo based) for Sprints - being able to search across the Organization for Repo and Projects based fields will be a huge step for our business. Currently it appears that searching for Issues assigned to a Project Iteration (Sprint) does not work - using e.g. org:{orgname} created:{daterange} sprint:{sprintname} |
