      Issue Summary

      When using the quick search bar, entering your desired words and pressing enter directs you to a JQL search page. This page appends an asterisk to the end of the text search. While this generally functions correctly and returns accurate results, it fails to do so when searching with Chinese characters, and possibly other languages as well.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a Work Item with the Summary "你好吗".
      1. In the quick search bar, enter "你好" and press enter.
      1. The JQL search will not return any matching issues

      Expected Results

      The JQL search should return the Work Item created with the following query:

      textfields ~ "你好" 

      Actual Results

      No matching issues are returned, with the query appearing as:

      textfields ~ "你好*" 

      Workaround

      Remove the asterisk at the end of the JQL search to obtain the correct results.
