Issue filter for summary is not working

Robert Güntherberg_06rrbh

In one of my Jira projects I have some issues with the summary in the following form:

A.1.2 Hello World 1
A.1.3 Hello World 2
A.2.2 Hello World 3
A.2.4 Hello World 4

Now I want to see all issues starting with A.1.

For this I wanted to use the following filter, where I don't get any results.

project = world AND summary ~ "A.1*"

However, if I only search for

project = world AND summary ~ "A"

all issues beginning with A will be displayed.

Does anyone have an idea where my mistake is? The Search syntax articles didn't really help me.

 

Thanks Robert

 

Edit: I think my server instance has an problem with the search-engine. Will report it to my server admins.

Hi @Robert Güntherberg 
It seems that JQL has some reserved characters, including ".".

You may try using unicode character ? (\u002E)

Or according to the doc

If you wish to use these characters in queries, you need to:

surround them with quote-marks (you can use either single quote-marks (') or double quote-marks ("));and, if you are searching a text field and the character is on the list of reserved characters for text searches,

precede them with two backslashes.

Hope it helps !
