Forward slash + wildcard causes JQL incorrect search result

Summary

If you try to search a word which contains a forward slash with a wildcard, Lucene is not able to find that word.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an issue with description = "RD/EE"
2. Use the following JQL to search for that issue will work: description ~ "RD/EE"
3. If now change to use a JQL with a wildcard description ~ "RD/E?" or description ~ "RD/E*", the issue is not found.

Expected Results

Issue is in the result set of the JQL description ~ "RD/E?" or description ~ "RD/E*"

Actual Results

Issue not found

Notes

As suggested in this document I've used double back slash to escape the forward slash, but JQL

description ~ "RD\\/E?"

is still not working

Workaround

Replace forward slash with a white space seems to work
