How do I search text like *something

[Aniruddha Karanjkar]

Hi,

I am trying to search text which is IP address but no issues are detected with the following search queries.

text ~ "192.168.1.222"

text ~ "192.168.1.222*"

which is mentioned in the comment like following

Your IP address is IP-192.168.1.222.

I have searched various help topics but no luck. Looks like you have not provided any options to search text like this.

Please let me know how to do it?

Hi @Aniruddha Karanjkar,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

If you have been using Jira Server since version 8.6, you can use "suffix":

text ~ "*box"

Unfortunately Jira Cloud (URL is https://yxz.atlassian.net) still can't use suffix - https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-78077.

Thanks, Pavel,

Correct. it is Jira v8.5.7 and so *something is not supported.

@Aniruddha Karanjkar 

Is this IP address in any of the following fields -Summary, Description, Environment, comments?

Try with \\ as the escape character

Guide here

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-syntax-for-text-fields/

If it's a custom field 

Try searching with 

Custom-field-name = value

Let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,

Hi @Aniruddha Karanjkar ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

If you search text ~ "192.168.1.222" , JIRA will retrieve all issue containing 192.168.1.222 so it is already what you are looking for.

192.168.1.222

192.168.1.2221

192.168.1.2222

192.168.1.2223

192.168.1.222A

and so on.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hey Fabio,

Thanks but I am trying to search which is not matching with "IP-192.168.1.222" which is suffix wildcard.
