Issue Summary
- Per https://support.atlassian.com/opsgenie/docs/search-queries-for-alerts/#Using-asterisk-----as-a-wildcard, wildcards only match from the start of a character sequence.
- So message: lorem* matches "Lorem ipsum dolor" and "qui do Lorem ipsum" .But does not match "qui dolorem ipsum" because "lorem" is embedded inside "dolorem."
Expected Results
- Support a contains/infix wildcard syntax (e.g., lorem) that would match "lorem" appearing anywhere within a character sequence, including the middle of a word like "dolorem."
- A query like message: lorem should return alerts containing "qui dolorem ipsum" because "lorem" exists as a substring within "dolorem."
Actual Results
Wildcards can only be used after characters and will only match from the start of character sequences
Searching message: lorem* matches:
- "Lorem ipsum dolor" ✅
- "Loremipsum123" ✅
- "qui do Lorem ipsum" ✅ (lorem is a separate sequence)
But does not match:
- "qui dolorem ipsum" ❌ (lorem is embedded within "dolorem")
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
