Search a custom field via REST, with Contains or LIKE option?

Question

Hi, Ive got the below working great,

rest/api/2/search?jql=cf[17008]~123456

But there can sometimes be a Location prefix in front of the value, is it possible to include some kind of wildcard character?

rest/api/2/search?jql=cf[17008]~AU123456

Many Thanks

You can not begin your search with a wilcard character. I guess, It is lucene limitation. But you can end with a wildcard character. For example, you can not write

cf[17008]~*123456

But you can write

cf[17008]~AU12*
