JQL (Jira Query Language) is the most powerful and flexible way to search for your issues in Jira. 

Xray adds a lot of functions and new custom fields that can help you search and find the information you need. 

Enhanced querying with JQL

Xray provides several custom fields and entity properties.

Jira's entity properties provide the means to store key/value pairs on Jira entities, such as issues. Xray uses somes entity properties that can be queried using JQL.
