I am trying to find the best way to create a quick filter for a board using a word in summary

[Timothy Wade]

I am trying to create a quick filter for my Jira board that will only display tickets that have a specified word found in the summary section of the ticket. I have tried summary ~ Word but that is not filtering out any Ticket without Word in summary. 

So how do I write a jql that will look for specific words in summary? If I could use contains it would look like this summary contains "Word" and I would only see tickets with Word in the summary.

Hi @Timothy Wade and welcome,

I've created a quick filter and it works as expected:

What is your JQL?

[Timothy Wade]

project in (TEPPO, NTX) AND component = "MCR Dusters" AND text ~ "summary ~ "PPO Portal"

[Alex Koxaras -Relational-]

This

text ~ "summary ~ "PPO Portal"

Doesn't seem right. What did you wanted to do with that? What is the text that must be contained within the summary?

[Timothy Wade]

I was trying to only look for tickets with "PPO Portal" in the summary but doing this way:

summary ~ "PPO Portal" only works with one word not two, in the quotes. Like you can't use a phrase when searching using ~

[Radek Dostál]

What's the real JQL you're using and what other issue summaries show up despite it?

~ is essentially "contains" (although there are minute differences) so I'm asking for the real values as the behaviour you describe should not be happening;

[Timothy Wade]

was trying to use more than one word in query:

project in (TEPPO, NTX) AND component = "MCR Dusters" AND text ~ "summary ~ "PPO Portal"
