How to search for an issue with a particular summary with a lot of terms

Assume you have an issue with following summary

XYZ-123 The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog

if the search is as follows

summary ~ "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog"

you get all the issues which have 'the', 'quick' ... terms in but not exactly the one and only issue XYZ-123

When you do a search as follows

summary ~ "The+ quick+ brown+ fox+ jumps+ over+ a+ lazy+ dog+"

but also some permutations.

How should we construct the query ?

You can add quotes by adding \" - for example:

summary ~ "\"The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog\""

How about summary ~ "The" AND summary ~ "brown" AND summary ~ "fox"

Yes that works, but I was hoping that there would exist something like
summary equals "the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog"

Thanks anyway,


Francis
