search_bugs_by_keyword

Search for bugs by keywords in descriptions and headlines, filtered by status, severity, or modified date. Ideal for identifying issues based on general terms or symptoms when product-specific tools are unavailable.

Instructions

Search for bugs using keywords in descriptions and headlines. Use this when searching by general terms, symptoms, or when product-specific tools are not applicable. IMPORTANT: severity parameter returns ONLY that specific level. For "severity 3 or higher" searches, use multi_severity_search tool instead.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`keyword`	Yes	Keywords to search for
`modified_date`	No	Last modified date filter. Values: 1=Last Week, 2=Last 30 Days, 3=Last 6 Months, 4=Last Year, 5=All. Default: 5 (All)	5
`page_index`	No	Page number (10 results per page)
`severity`	No	Bug severity filter. Returns bugs with ONLY the specified severity level. Values: 1=Severity 1 (highest), 2=Severity 2, 3=Severity 3, 4=Severity 4, 5=Severity 5, 6=Severity 6 (lowest). For "severity 3 or higher" bugs, use multi_severity_search tool which handles multiple separate API calls.
`sort_by`	No	Sort order for results. Default: modified_date (recent first)
`status`	No	Bug status filter. IMPORTANT: Only ONE status allowed per search. Values: O=Open, F=Fixed, T=Terminated. Do NOT use comma-separated values like "O,F".
