Wildcard Fuzzy Search

[jack kornblatt]

So on my JIRA board, we use a specific system to record what we think the QA time on a ticket should be.  We place a number in parentheses at the beginning of a ticket, so like this - (5) Summary of Ticket.  Sometimes it may be small and be something like (.5) Summary of Ticket

What I want is a query that will search through the tickets and find the ones that do not have a set of parentheses with with something inside them as a part of the summary

I have tried summary !~ "\\(\\*\\)" but that does not work.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi Jack, 

A similar question was asked here: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Service-Desk-questions/Search-for-Hashtag-in-the-Description-Field-during-Automation/qaq-p/1096175

Basically, when searching in Jira you can escape the restricted characters, but it ultimately ignores them.

• "if you are searching a text field and the character is on the list of special characters in text searches, precede them with two backslashes. This will let you run the query that contains a reserved character, but the character itself will be ignored in your query. For more info, see Special characters in Search syntax for text fields."
