JQL search is treating the letter a as a wildcard

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      For text-based JQL searches, if "-a" is included at the end of the string, Jira looks at this as a wildcard {*} rather than a string which then gives more results than it should.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create 2 Issues in Jira, one having the Summary as "testing_46565-1-a" and the other as "testing_46565-1-b".
      2. Do a JQL search on that Summary field for -a (summary ~ "\"testing_46565-1-a\"")

      Expected Results

      I would expect the results to be all matches with the "testing_46565-1-a" Summary

      Actual Results

      The results include all Issues with a similar Summary and looks at the "-a" as a wildcard, essentially making the JQL summary ~ "\"testing_46565-1*\"".

      Workaround

      As a workaround, you can change the Indexing language language in the General settings to "Other" which may be related to the stemming of the word "a".
