JQL search phrase search

[Stewart G Behra]

I have been trying to search for an exact phrase using the JQL description ~ "Open Error, Order"

This is text from an error message in the software. My results have a description that has any of those words and not that exact phrase. 

This JQL description ~ "Open Error" AND description ~ "Order" returns the same results.

What is the syntax to search an "exact phrase" with multiple terms in the phrase?

Hi @Stewart G Behra ,

If I understand you correctly (getting an exact value from a text field via JQL) the correct answer should look like this:

description ~ "\"Open Error, Order\""

It only shows issue that exactly match the condition.

Hey @Stefan Riethmann 
That works as expected. I plucked some phrases from several JIRA tickets and was able to confirm your solution.

Thanks

Do you mean JQL (Jira Query language), and not Jquery (javascript query)?  It heavily affects how we try to answer this question.

Sorry yes JQL. Using the front end Advanced search feature.
