<span style="color: #333333">I</span><span style="color: #000000">ssues in JIRA can be searched using basic and advanced searches but with certain limitations. You can use JQL functions to overcome these limitations</span><span style="color: #000000">. For example, you cannot get the user property of a user either in the basic or advanced JQL search. For this, you would need a JQL function. The JQL functions can be used in any place in JIRA where you use JQL: in the Issue Navigator, in a Saved Filter, in the Agile Board query etc.</span>
