      When performing a JQL wildcard text search, this can sometimes fail to retrieve the correct results when the search term contains special characters.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an issue with the title: hello_world this_is_me
      2. Search for JQL: summary ~ "hello_world*"

      Expected Results

      The Jira issue is returned.

      Actual Results

      The Jira issue is not returned.

      Remove the special characters from the search, e.g. summary ~ "hello world*".

      Alternatively, use the exact phrase search without the special characters, e.g. summary ~ "\"hello world\"".
