Searching for an exact string using JQL with \" is not working

XMLWordPrintable

      Summary

      If you try to use JQL to search for issues with exact string using \", for example: "\" exact string \"", it should only find issues matching the whole expression, but it is finding issues containing the separate words.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to the 'Search Issues' screen.
      2. Try searching for issues with an exact string using \", as the example below:

      text ~ "\"this is an example\""
      

      Expected Results

      You will find all the issues that contain the exact string (whole expression) 'this is an example'.

      Actual Results

      All issues that contain all the separate words.

      Workaround

      It doesn't have a workaround.
