# Jira - Search issues action (batch)
The Search issues (batch) action searches Jira for issues that exactly match the criteria you specify and retrieves the results in batches.
RESULTS FOR RECENT CHANGES
Jira search results may not reflect recent changes. Use the Reconcile Issue IDs field to return real-time results for up to 50 issues. Alternatively, add a short delay after steps that create or update records. For example, using the Ruby snippets by Workato sleep function or the Scheduler by Workato Wait for time duration action.
