Searching with * only searches for alphanumeric characters

XMLWordPrintable

      In order to test this,

      1. create a custom field type : Text
      2. create an issue and add alphanumeric values to the custom field (for example, I added bh_ab123,bh_abc,bh12aaa,BH_AGENT)
      3. try searching by "Device name" ~ 'bh*' you get the output with all Device name values
      4. try searching with "Device name" ~ 'bh_*' you will get only one value : bh_ab123

            Possibly this is happening when lucene sees a word that has only letters in it and treats it as a word, but when there is a mixture of letters and numbers it treats it as a string, such as a serial number. This may explain the behaviour.

            Adding more screenshots as the customer has provided more scenarios where the problem occurs.

            As you can see when you search with FLS*, it is only returning the results where the part after "FLS" has alphanumeric text.

            This is because the underscore is treated the same as a space - bh_123 is the same as having two words, 'bh' and '123' to JQL. So the search for bh* is looking for words with bh and another character after it - which doesn't exist.
