*Exact* search in text field

Hoped to get an answer for this comment on the doc page, but since it s two days I try my luck here:

Doc says:

comment ~ "\"My PC is quite old\""

returns exactly that phrase is sort of an overstatement.

When I saw this statement I thought I had found a way to find / escape square brackets (or other special characters like hyphens or colons, - or not that special ones like underscores) - to no avail.

Experienced and seasoned people in the company think they can remember they once could find something like "[UEM]" in the summary field, but can t repro it (with any conceivable escape seq) in JIRA 4.3.4.

I had at least hoped the_underscore would be no exception - or an exception to the exception of special chars. <g>

Thx for any insight

PPS: I think I subed the newsletter, but still got a mail that forced it upon me - not to be considered as a bot.
