How can I do a STARTS WITH search?  The previous version of JIRA this was easy, but now when I type in the starting characters, it returns many other tickets as well.

 

This used to be so easy.

Hi Jean - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can find more information about the syntax here:

But basically, you are looking at field_name ~ "something*"

Hello @Jean Samsel 

Welcome to the community.

Against which field/field-type are you trying to set the criteria?
