JIRA: Find all issues related to a user

Question

In JIRA, how do a find all issues related to a user, across all projects.

A simple query search yields only full text results. i.e. only issues where the name is mentio

Answer 1

Like Greg mentioned, you can use the "FIND ISSUES" -option. By default, you can only do searches by the issue reporter or by the assignee. But if your Jira installation has the Jira Toolkit plugin installed, you can run a search by participant. This is a good feature if you need to find the issues which you have helped to resolve, but aren't anymore assigned to you.
