I am trying to use the ~ operator with text as per https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracorecloud/advanced-searching-fields-reference-765593716.html#Advancedsearching-fieldsreference-textTextText to search for issues which have 'xyz' or 'xyz*' in their Summary, Description and/ or Comments fields.The search string looks as below, but the results are excluding issues where xyz appears in the Summary field. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?text ~ xyz Version: JIRA v7.10.2 JIRA Service Desk Application v3.13.2 (License Information for JIRA Plugins)
Hi,
The summary field is a separate field from which you can search.
Therefore, your JQL may look like this:
text ~ xyz OR summary ~ xyz
Hi Maksim,Thank you for your reply, however the Atlassian Help page I referenced above explicitly states that -
This is a "master-field" that allows you to search all text fields, i.e.:
Given this, I am at a loss to understand why a text ~ search will not retrieve those records which have xyz or xyz* values in their Summary.Is the Help link outdated? I did not find a date on Atlassian's Help pages so have no way of knowing if the Help documentation is current or not. I can explicitly search for the text in the Summary field, but now, I do not know if the text ~ works on the other 3 text fields above as well, necessitating a search in each of them which would be rather cumbersome.
You're right. The query text ~ xyz should search the summary field.
Did I understand correctly that the query summary ~ xyz returns issues that text ~ xyz cannot return?
Hi Maksim,
Thank you for your prompt reply again.I just checked, Summary ~ xyz is ALSO NOT retrieving the record where xyz123 is a word in the Summary. Now I am really not sure how to proceed.
