Jira 11 Search API Upgrade Guide
In Jira Data Center version 10.4, Atlassian has introduced a new Search API, marking a significant overhaul of the search functionality by transitioning from Lucene to OpenSearch. This update includes the deprecation of certain methods, reflecting a shift in the underlying search mechanism to enhance performance and scalability. Lucene will be removed from public APIs in Jira 11. Atlassian documents Lucene-specific API and components that have been deprecated in favor of the platform-agnostic search API.
