This is an interesting thing. I created a JIRA issue using a java rest client provided by JIRA(JiraRestClient). When I try to search the issue in the JIRA ui by using JQL in advanced search
reporter = user123(where user123 is the user i used to create the issue)
I can't find that issue in the results. But when I manually update that issue.. say comment on it and then run the above query again I see that issue in the results.
Can anyone explain why is this happening ?
JQL relies on lucene index and looks like issues created by the JiraRestClient are not indexed till you update them (issue is indexed on update). For me it sounds like a bug. To be sure please launch full reindex https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Search+Indexing and then try to reproduce your case.
