Searching with ~ Not Working for Summary

Jeff Abbott_7hw68u

I have summaries for requirements in JIRA defined by an External ID, followed by a text summary. For example "ABC-1234 This is my Requirement".  If I search with:

issuetype = "Requirement" AND Summary ~ "ABC-"

JIRA does not return all matching requirements. JIRA returned about 9 out of over 1000.

 

Any help or pointers to how I can correct for this is appreciated.

Check the JQL Doc on the "contains" operator. You may need to use a wildcard ( * ) to get the results you're after.
