<span style="color: #000000">The search box functionality helps you quickly find your interests and filter out unwanted tasks or work. The search box operates in two modes:</span>

- <span style="color: #000000">Text search mode, which filters information based on the Jira Summary field.</span>
- <span style="color: #000000">JQL mode, which filters information using JQL queries.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">To clear the search box, delete your search query, press the enter key, or click the magnifying glass button.</span>

## <span style="color: #000000">JQL search</span>

<span style="color: #000000">Start typing in the search box to open the JQL drop-down to help you find the query. The icon will change to red if the JQL query you typed is incorrect.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">For example, to search for a specific issue type, type in the following JQL query: "issuetype = bug":</span>

## <span style="color: #000000">Active search</span>

<span style="color: #000000">The active search box will be cleared automatically when you switch to another module and then return to the Risks module.</span>

## <span style="color: #000000">Apply filters</span>

<span style="color: #000000">You will see an orange dot on the filter icon when the filter is active.</span>

<span style="color: #000000">Tasks that do not match the filter will be greyed out. This applies to parent tasks, so you can trace how lower-level tasks contribute to higher-level items.</span>
