Lucene doesn't support prefix search.
We have created some issues with following titles:
- "ComponentComboBox"
- "TableComboBox"
- "DateComboBox"
- "JXComboBox"
these words also occur in attached commented and file attachments with java source code
In our projects we need to search for the word "ComboBox" or "Box" or just "box", but it does not retrieve the issues mentioned above.
Is it possible to extend JIRA search capabiltiy with a simple search plugin, which returns results like String's indexOf ? Of course, this will result in neg. performance issues.
But I think, this way of searching is practical for us, when searching for more abstract words / partialparts of words in jira/confluence.
Cause
We use lucene as for our search engine. I did some research and it looks like Lucene starting at version 2.1 does support leading wild cards. You can see here via Apache's FAQ. We don't currently use this function. As you can see even Apache mentions it's an expensive operation.
Work Around
We recommend Script Runner a third party add on (Add is no longer free) . Script Runner really beefs up JQL as you can use regex with script runner.
For example: issueFunction in issueFieldMatch("project = JRA", "description", "ABC\\d{4}").

[JRASERVER-6218] Allow searching for part of a word (prefix / substring searches)
6c42cd3a07e9,
You can search for example for key = JRASERVER-6218 and comment ~ "*irst *ildcard *haracter". Did you mean this or something else?
It would be great to be able to use suffix (first wildcard character). Any updates on getting this functionality?
It still doesn't work for Jira cloud so no use to us and the ticket has been closed as "Won't fix" so possibly never 
.

Wow, my issue resolved after ten years!
That's the real businessvalue: Finding issues!
It really works:

Good spot. The "affects-cloud" is an old label that was used when we had only one project: JRA. Now that we have JRASERVER and JRACLOUD, it is redundant. I cleared this label.
The corresponding cloud issue is JRACLOUD-6218. I can see it's been resolved as "Won't fix", so it's not going to be applied to the cloud version.
Is this going to be applied to the cloud version? The labels show affects-cloud.

please see the "Status" and "Fixed in Version/s" fields.
created 14 years ago. The government moves faster than this.
The part i don't understand is why some of the employees haven't left to create a start up in competition to them.
Simple things like searching and custom URL's are standard now days.
As a company we have invested time into Jira and so i'll be hanging around for now, but i keep searching.
But if anyone at Atlassian reads these msgs and actually cares. It is my advise to take easy small win items and make them a bit more of a priority before someone else does.
Commenting on this to hopefully bring attention to this and potentially allow Atlassian to reconsider. This is a basic function that similar, less complex tools have implemented and it should be something that is allowed in Jira without having to using Script Runner. Please reconsider opening this to make this simple, basic fix.
