Issue Summary

When running a search against text fields that contain strings with dash/minus sign "-", you can get some strings which will not be found, where other strings with the same format will be found.

This is expected but undesirable behaviour, documented here: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-issues-using-the-text-field/

Steps to Reproduce

1. add the string "us-west-2_36500c92-9241-44de-b909-a74c0d8d4cee" to any text field, the description, or a comment.
2. Search for that exact string using the

   field ~ "us-west-2_36500c92-9241-44de-b909-a74c0d8d4cee"

   or

    text ~ "us-west-2_36500c92-9241-44de-b909-a74c0d8d4cee"

   the issue will not be returned.

3. compare this bevaior to the same process but with this string: "us-west-2_d50992f2-d152-43e3-988d-82fbc3ca7341". This string will return the issue when searched for.

Expected Results

• Either both strings will return their respective issues, or neither string will return their respective issues.

Actual Results

"us-west-2_36500c92-9241-44de-b909-a74c0d8d4cee" returns no results.
"us-west-2_d50992f2-d152-43e3-988d-82fbc3ca7341" returns issues that match.

Notes

substrings of those strings will not match, even when wildcards are used.

Further discussion on this functionality here.

Workaround

Use strings with no "-" or "_" to ensure a match, or surround the phrase with quotation marks (e.g.

text ~ "\"Test_1234_Test - Time\""

), or cite the minus character with double slashes (e.g.

text ~ "Test_1234_Test \\- Time"

).
