Hello @Chaitanya Kariya and welcome to the Atlassian Community!!

Text searches can be done in the advanced search when the CONTAINS (~) operator is used.

For example Summary ~ "XYZ".

For more information you may please have a look at Atlassian official documentation on Search syntax for text fields.
