Here is the advanced search syntax to refine your search, which can be used all over requirement yogi’s tabs. |
This page describes the search syntax to find requirements in Confluence.
Requirement Yogi provides a search screen in every space.
By default, only active requirements of the current space are displayed. Use the URL to display deleted requirements or to search across spaces.
Basic search
The text you enter in the search bar will be compared with requirement keys and descriptions. The search is case insensitive.
Advanced search syntax
You can also use our search syntax to refine your search.

|---|---|
key = ... | The key of the requirement. Keys are unique per space. |
spaceKey = ... | The space key of the requirement (case sensitive). |
status = ... | The status of the requirement (ACTIVE, DELETED, MOVED). Default: ACTIVE. There is generally no reason to use it, since those statuses are internal details about requirements. You would rather define your own property named "Status", and search them using @status = 'Approved' for example. Do not confuse "status" (our internal implementation detail) and "@status" (any user-defined property). |
text = ... | The contents of the requirement (Does not include the properties). |
page = ... | The ID of a page or a version where a requirement is defined. |
link is not null / link is null | The requirements having links or not |

jira@relationship = ... | A JIRA issue linked with a specific relationship. |
@aproperty = ... | A property with name "aproperty". |
ext@aproperty = ... | An external property with name "aproperty". Note: external properties are typed (string, float, integer, boolean...) |
to@arelationship = ... from@arelationship = ... | A dependency with the relationship "arelationship". |
variant = ... | A variant for a requirement |
