      Issue Summary

      When using the basic search looking for issues via Issue Key or Issue Number only from the projects' default filters (see it below), the search won't retrieve the respective issues.

      This seem to be happening because Jira is turning the search into 

      Text ~ "####"

      rather than 

      issuekey = "####"

      . This can be observed as moving to the advanced search, the JQL is "translated" into text instead.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Access any classic software project
      2. Head to Issues from the left menu
      3. Click in one of the default filters like All Issues
      4. Look for an issue key in the search box

      Expected Results

      Issue with matching issue key should be found and displayed

      Actual Results

      Issue with matching issue key is not displayed, because it translates the search into text rather than issue key

      Workaround

      Use the advanced search and manually type:

      key = "#######"
