JIRA Issues search by text

[Jayesh Baviskar]

Hi Team,

While searching Jira issue which are having some specific word in summary I observed some weird behaviour of text searching.

While searching for issues with summary prefix "M2B-" 

{code}
issuetype = Epic AND summary ~ "M2B-*"
{code}

We get the expected list of issues starting with "*M2B-"*

&

Similarly, While searching for issues with summary prefix "GOV-"

{code}
issuetype = Epic AND summary ~ "GOV-*"
{code}

is not showing the expected result.

We are getting expected result only with below JQL

{code}
summary ~ "GOV\\-\\*"
{code} 

& if we try to use the same for previous JQL 

{code}
issuetype = Epic AND summary ~ "M2B\\-\\*"
{code}

We are not getting expected result.

This is really strange behavior of wild characters in JQL searching. I would request Atlassian team to investigate on this.

Jayesh

Hi @Mohamed Benziane

Thank for commenting out on my query. I have followed the same document.

While writing a JQL queries I have observed this weird behaviour.
