How can I search for exact text in square brackets?

Question

I am trying to find all issues that have this text in the summary:  "[BA]"   (without the quotes)

This is the query that I am using:

summary ~ ""$$BA$$""

But it also returns text that DOES NOT have the brackets.

How can I do this properly?

I found a document that states special characters are not stored.

Try this JQL:

issueFunction in issueFieldMatch("project=ABC", "summary", "$$BA$$") order by created

I was just looking for the same. Are you also on an older version of Jira? I did find this:
