    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Cloud. Using JIRA Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Lucene has supported queries that start with a * since before 2.0 (http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ). Being able to seach for "*foo" is really useful and something that often trips people up with JQL.

      It seems from checking the code that all that may be required is changing one method?

      [mdoar atlassian-jira-enterprise-source]$ find .-name *.java -print0 | xargs -0 grep setAllowLeadingWildcard
./atlassian-jira-5.0-m4-source/jira-project/jira-components/jira-core/src/main/java/com/atlassian/jira/sharing/index/QueryBuilder.java:        parser.setAllowLeadingWildcard(false);
