In searching for the same answer, I discovered a partial solution. This solution requires that you use the keyword searching feature of the omnibox, so searching for “ISSUE-123” will not work but “jira ISSUE-123” will. It also supports quick-search text searching for example “jira some search string.”
In chrome, follow these steps to configure:
- Open chrome’s settings and click Manage Search Engines in the
search section. - Scroll to the bottom and enter the following information:
- Search engine name: JIRA (or some description about which instance of jira like “Apache JIRA”)
- Keyword: jira (or something simple to remember on the omnibox, could be the base URL of your jira instance)
- URL: https://jira.example.com/jira/secure/QuickSearch.jspa?searchString=%s (obviously, replace the jira.example.com with the host name of your jira instance)
- Click done
To use:
- In the omnibox type jira (or your keyword you configured above) followed by a tab or space
- Enter your quick-search term which could be an issue key, free-form text or project text
Examples of what to type in the OmniBox:
- An issue key: jira WEB-123
- Free-form text: jira Logo change
- Project-specific search: jira WEB logo
