Add ability to search for versions using regex or similar

It would be very useful to be able to search for issues that affect associated versions, without having to specifically pick every version required.

For example, if we have versions 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, then being able to create a filter that searches for 1.x would be useful - the aim is that when 1.4 is released a new filter is not needed.

For my purpose I am creating a confluence page for version 1 & one for version 2 and these have links to JIRA filters. Each time I create a new version, I have to edit the wiki pages (and in my case there are many versions of product available).
