This is a solved problem. The most efficient way to search Jira is to type random characters into the search bar until you find the ticket you were looking for on page 3 of the results.

Find the person in your organization who knows JIRA. After he doesn't manage to find it, open outlook and search for it in the notifications@jira folder, where you would most likely find it

I just wrote the search query to our PM, since I was unable to find anything myself... I don't understand why just couldn't use, IDK, a shared spreadsheet, even that would be more productive (from my perspective)
