OpenSearch for Jira early access program (EAP02)
The early access program (EAP) of OpenSearch for Jira gives you an opportunity to test apps' compatibility with OpenSearch.

Configure Jira to use OpenSearch
As Jira instances grow in size and scale, the default search engine, Lucene, may be slower to index and return search results. To address this, Jira Data Center now offers an alternative search engine as an opt-in feature—OpenSearch. OpenSearch can take advantage of multi-node instances to manage process-intensive indexing. In the user interface, the search experience remains the same for users.

Implemented changes
We've implemented the following changes in the EAP02:
- Full sorting support
- Label auto-complete
- Resilient indexing
- Fast re-indexing
- Read-your-write consistency
- Support for all indexing languages
- The total results count for boards and backlogs in OpenSearch is capped at 10,000 by default. More about 10,000 issue display limit for boards and backlogs
You can increase this limit by following the steps in the workaround for unbounded queries.
Known limitations
Check out current limitations and known issues with OpenSearch support in Jira 11 Early Access Program (EAP02). These limitations might affect your experience with searching, indexing, and overall performance:
- Unbounded queries aren’t supported. Check out the workaround for unbounded queries
Project re-index isn’t working. Check out the workaround for project re-index.
If a plugin hasn’t been migrated to the search API, it won’t work with OpenSearch.
Workarounds
Unbounded queries
By default, OpenSearch limits search results to 10,000 hits. Many queries in Jira attempt to retrieve all available results. These queries may fail until we replace them with more efficient alternatives, such as aggregation or streaming.
In the meantime, you can increase the OpenSearch maximum result window setting:
{
"index": {
"max_result_window": "2147483647"
}

Project re-index
Re-index the whole Jira instance instead of a single project.
