Is there a way to us wildcard characters in JQL search against the project name?

Question

We have many projects in JIRA that track maintenance against an application. We have prefaced all of the project names with "Maintenance". Since the project field does not support the CONTAINS ( ~ ) or DOES NOT CONTAIN ( !~ ) operator, is there a way to use a wildcard? I am looking to do something like this:

project in (Maintenance*) and status = Resolved

Is there anyway to do this??

Have you thought of categorizing the projects? If those projects were categorized as "maintenance" you could use that search string...
