            This problem does not only affect this particular case but affecting mostly all the knowledge-base suggestions, both in the summary field for the customers and in the issue's view for the agent, as hardly any article could cover all the words in a ticket's summary. For our cases, if in the past 90% of our support tickets have a KB suggestion, then now the number is down to 20%, which leads to a lot more job for the agents to find articles to share.

            I think this issue needs to have higher Symptom Severity ** than what it is set at now.

            The related KB articles are not being suggested until the full issue summary is present in the KB article (title or content). The Confluence Search V2 API (since Jira v9.11.x) requires full summary match unlike the previous version which requires a partial summary match to suggest KB articles. This is a problem for issue summary's with UID's or words that are not in the article.
