      Issue Summary

      Using the ~ (CONTAINS) operator in Advanced Search via JQL that includes a hyphen(-) character returns more results than expected.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create Jira issues with the following summary:
        1. abc-def
        2. abc
        3. def
      2. Search using this JQL 
        summary ~ "abc-def"

      Expected Results

      Search result should return 1 issue.

      Actual Results

      Search result returns 3 results.

      Workaround

      When constructing new JQL queries, add escaped quotes to the search text, for example:

      summary ~ "\"abc-def\""

      Escaped quotes are not automatically added in previously saved JQL queries, which can lead to different search results if Jira has been recently upgraded.
