Query language

If the basic filters don't give you enough options, use the query language to define a filter.

The query language allows you to:

Search for issues by name, description, and comments.
Filter issues by multiple values of a single field.
Use comparison operators and logical operators in filters.
Specify functions as a comparison value.
Set the sort order for issues in the filter results.

Query format

To define a filter using the query language:

Choose Filters → + New filter on the upper panel in Tracker.
Go to the Query tab.
Enter a query and click Apply.

The basic format of the query is:

"parameter": "value"

To set the parameter, start typing its name and choose the appropriate one from the suggestions. For the full list of parameters, see the section Filter parameters.

Examples

Issues that are in the TEST queue:

```
"Queue": "TEST"
```
Issues that are assigned to Alice Little:
```
"Assignee": "Alice Little"
```
Issues with the status Open or In progress.
```
"Status": "Open", "In progress"
```
Issues created from January 1 to January 30, 2017:
```
"Created": "2017-01-01".."2017-01-30"
```

Multiple parameter values

If you want to filter issues by multiple values for the same parameter, separate them with commas:

parameter: "value1", "value2", " value3"

Example

author: "vpupkin","iivanov"

This filter outputs all issues that were reported by vpupkin or iivanov.

Filters with multiple conditions

You can combine multiple conditions in a single filter using Boolean operators:

AND — The logical AND operator. Conditions combined with this operator must all be met at the same time.
Example:
```
parameter1: "value1" AND parameter2: "value2"
```
This query outputs the issues that have parameter1 set to value1 and parameter2 set to value2.
Note. Instead of using the AND operator, you can just list the fields separated by a space.
OR — The logical OR operator. At least one of the conditions combined with this operator must be met.
Example:
```
parameter1: "value1" OR parameter2: "value2"
```
This query outputs the issues that meet at least one of these conditions: parameter1 is set to value1 or parameter2 is set to value2.

You can create complex filters by combining multiple operators in a single query:

parameter1: "value1" AND parameter2: "value2" OR parameter3: "value3"

When complex filters are processed, the AND operators are applied first. Use parentheses to change the order of actions:

parameter1: "value1" AND (parameter2: "value2" OR parameter3: "value3")

Text search

In addition to searching by parameters, you can also use the familiar text search. To do this, enter text in the Query field and click Apply.

The search is performed across all the text fields in the issue: name, description, and comments. To search in only one of the fields, use the parameter to specify it:

Summary — The issue name.
Description — The issue description.
Comment — Text in comments.
History — Text in the history of changes.

To find only issues with text that exactly matches the query text, use the # operator:

Summary: #"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"

Example

Description: "Off with her head"

This filter outputs all the issues that have a description containing the words and close forms of the words in the query.

Date and time parameters

Many issue parameters have date and time values. The query language supports several formats for these parameters:

Date

MM/DD/YYYY
Example:
```
04/30/2017
```
DD.MM.YYYY
Example:
```
30.04.2017
```
DD-MM-YYYY
Example:
```
30-04-2017
```
YYYY-MM-DD
Example:
```
2017-04-30
```

Time

You can set time intervals in weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds in the format:

"XXw XXd XXh XXm XXs"

For example, a time interval of 3 days 5 hours and 32 minutes is written as:

"3d 5h 32m"

When searching fields that contain a date, you can use the addition and subtraction operations, time ranges, and functions.

Here is an example of a filter for issues created no earlier than eight days ago:

Created: > today() - "1w 1d"

A filter for issues that were created in a certain period of time:

Created: 01-01-2017 .. 02-03-2017

Comparison operations

In addition to looking for exact matches, the query language supports comparisons:

Not equal to
```
parameter: !"value"
```
Greater than, Less than, Less than or equal to, Greater than or equal to
These operations are only applied to numeric parameters and date and time parameters.
```
parameter: >numberparameter: <numberparameter: >= numberparameter: <= number
```
In the range
This operation is only applied to numeric parameters.
```
parameter: number1 .. number2
```

Functions

In addition to explicit parameter values, you can use functions. A function is a variable with a value that is calculated when the request is executed. For example, the function today() takes the value of today's date. To show all issues created today, use the query:

Created: today()

`group()`	List of department employees	Find issues that employees of the Sales department are working on: `Assignee: group(value: "Commercial Department")`

Search for parameter changes

If you know when and how a parameter was changed for an issue, you can create a filter for it:

"parameter": changed(from: "old value" to: "new value" by: "who changed" date: "when changed"

For example, to get a list of issues that user Alice Little switched to the status "In progress" in a certain time period, make the query:

Status: changed(to: "In progress" by: "Alice Little" date: 01.09.2017 .. 15.09.2017)

Sort results

You can sort the filter results by setting the "Sort By" parameter at the end of the query. For the value, specify the name of the field to sort by:

"Sort By": Created

If necessary, set the sort order to ascending (ASC) or descending (DESC):

"Sort By": Created ASC

To specify multiple fields to sort by, separate them with commas in order of priority:

"Sort By": Created ASC, Updated DESC
