First, *move focus to the search box*. If focus is anywhere outside of the search box, just press *Esc* to move it back there.
Then, enter a search query.
!search_query_with_notes_beta.png!
A *search query* must contain one or more of the following:
* *Attribute-value pairs* (example: {{{*}project: TeamCity{*}}}) that identify attributes of issues that you search for. Issue attributes include _issue ID, state, assignee, reporter, date of creation/update, type, priority, tags_ etc. For unambiguous values, *you may omit attributes*. For example, {{state: critical}} means exactly the same as {{\#critical}}.
* *Shortcut keywords* that represent one of the following:
** A _set of attribute values_. Examples: {{#my}} (searches for issues assigned to or reported by the current user), {{#unresolved}} (searches for all submitted, open, reopened issues, issues in progress and due to be discussed).
** A _special state_ of an issue. Examples: {{#unassigned}}, {{#\{has attachment\}}}.
* An arbitrary string for *full-text search* in issue summaries, descriptions etc.
YouTrack provides *query completion* in the search box to help you choose appropriate keywords and values.
To display query completion at any caret position in the search box, press *Ctrl+Space* or *Alt+Down*.

In addition, after you have entered them in the search box, keywords are underlined with grey and values with black. If you've entered an incorrect query, YouTrack uses red dotted underline to highlight errors.
{tip:title=To distinguish search by attributes from full-text search:}
* Attributes should be followed by a colon: *{{state:}}*
* Attribute values that contain spaces should be surrounded by curly braces: *{{in: \{JetBrains Tracker\}}}*
* If an attribute value is specified without attributes, it should be preceded by the hash mark: *{{\#unresolved}}*

|| Sample query || Meaning ||
| {code}#my #unresolved{code} | Find all issues either assigned to or reported by me that have any state except "resolved"|
| {code}state: submitted #unassigned type: feature{code} {code}#feature #unassigned #submitted{code} | Find all feature requests that had been submitted but not yet assigned to a developer. \\
Keyword-value pairs or values can be specified in arbitrary order|
| {code}context action state: open{code} | Find all open issues that contain words "context" and "action".|
| {code}#unresolved -minor sort by: priority asc{code} | Find all unresolved issues except for issues with minor priority; sort the list of results by priority in ascending order. \\
"-" operator subtracts a subset from a set of search query results. Note that using this operator with an attribute value doesn't require that you precede it with a hash mark. |
| {code}"Who is mister Putin"{code} | Find all issues, which contain phrase "Who is mister Putin" |
See [Search and Command Attributes] for full keyword reference with samples.
You can *save a search query* for future use. To do that, click *Save this search* under the search box.
*To execute a previously saved search*, type _saved search_ in the search box, specify the name of a previously saved search query from the completion list, and press *Enter* to execute the search query.
