      Status Update August 7, 2024

      Hi everyone,

      This is Michał from the Jira team.

      Based on the bug description provided on this ticket, we verified the current behaviour of JQL full-text search functionality. Unfortunately, the problem is multifaceted, as it depends on your particular Jira configuration and the specific characters you are searching for.

      Some of the problems are known and we can offer workarounds that may work for you.

      We decided to split this ticket into more specific scenarios. Below, we are pointing you to possible paths you can follow:

      • If your site’s Indexing Language is not set to "English - Aggressive Stemming", and you cannot search by part of the word that contains a number, please go to JRACLOUD-84448
      • If your site’s Indexing Language is set to "English - Aggressive Stemming" mode, please go to JRACLOUD-82660 (there is the workaround we recently proposed)
      • If your case doesn't fit any of the above or you have trouble in determining it, don't hesitate to contact our support.

      The Indexing language configuration can be found under Administration > System > General Configuration, however its visibility can be limited to Jira administrators.

      I'm sorry for the inconvenience and we hope the above workarounds will help some of you.

      Regards,
      Michał
