      Issue Summary

      • Confluence search is not returning proper results. In some cases, searching for part of the word won't work, unless the search includes the whole/exact word.

      Steps to Reproduce

      • Create a page on Confluence, and add the string educational.
      • Search for education.

      Expected Results

      • The page should be returned, as it matches the search criteria.

      Actual Results

      • The page isn't returned.

      Workaround

      At this time, the available workaround is to add an asterisk (*) to the partial word.
      E.g.: searching for "education*" will return results containing "educational".

      Note that wildcards at the beginning of search text are unsupported. See CONFCLOUD-37153 for more information.
