← All updates · January 16, 2026

Added

Iris Investigate now includes IrisQL, a text-based representation of Advanced Search queries:

Round-trip editing: Build queries in the Advanced Search UI and view the generated IrisQL code, or write IrisQL directly and see the UI equivalent
Shareable queries: Copy and paste plain-text queries between applications, ticketing systems, and collaboration tools
Auto-complete: The editor suggests field names, operators, and values as you type
Syntax highlighting: Color-coded fields, operators, and values for readability
Real-time validation: Syntax errors are highlighted as you type

Enable IrisQL by checking the use IrisQL checkbox in Advanced Search. All queries must begin with the version comment # IrisQL-1.0.
