Issue Summary

JQL search where having a wildcard at the beginning of a word (prefix) is giving an error whereas the suffix search is working as expected.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Issue Navigator
2. JQL search :

   description ~ "*test"
   

Expected Results

We should not set the error as attached

Actual Results

Getting an error message

This behaviour is in accordance with our public document where its mentioned that we can use * or ? at the *end of a word.

• https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-syntax-for-text-fields/ (Term searches).

This is because we use lucene as for our search engine.

Workaround

Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
