Text Search strange

Jan-Christian Arnold January 26, 2014

Hello I'm searching for issues and don't understand why the results are different.

The Summary field is filled with an "identifier" TYPE DWW_ZUHH_2013", all and manually check are exact.

The result differes whether I search "summary ~ "DWW_*" " or "summary ~ "DWW*" " or "summary ~ "DWW" ".

Jira Version 5.2.11 used. Could not find any suitable explanation.

Hi Jan-Christian,

It probably has something to do with you fuzzy search works :

I would advise you to use the ~"DWW*" search because this seems to have resulted in the correct amount of issues.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter

The results differ in the number of found issues. And quite substancial:

"DWW*" = 30 Issues

"DWW_*" = 23 Issues

"DWW_" = 7 Issues

"DRW" = 7 Issues

seems to be an issue with the "_" but you can't escape it.

Hi Jan-Christian,

How exactly do the results differ?

How many results do you get in each search?

Best regards,

Peter
