JQL not working when doing a specific URL string search in summary

Ankit Sinha April 9, 2020

I am trying to search for JSD tickets that have a particular URL in their summary field. It is working for all URLs that I tried out till now, but there is one specific URL for which it fails.

Complete URL is - http://dummy.com/LiveMatchFeeds/getlivematchfeeds

When I use a JQL like this

"summary"~"http://dummy.com/LiveMatchFeeds/getlivematchfeeds", it doesn't work

But I use the just domain part it works, i.e. like this

- "summary"~"http://dummy.com/"

Hey,

It's a well known problem with the tilde operator - it's an approximate text match. If you need an exact text match you'll need an app like JQL Search Extensions: exact text match in JQL

1. Is it in the Experimental stage currently? I need APIs for a Prod application so I can't use Experimental features.

2. Any API documentation page?

Not sure why that would be the case, but you could try using wildcards instead. That would be something like:

summary~"http://dummy.com/*/get*matchfeeds"

I am using JIRA APIs to raise JSD tickets and then search for that ticket using search API. Due to this, I can't use any wildcard. 

I have done a workaround in that I have added a custom URL field where the search for this URL is working fine.

Can you tell me where I can inform the Atlassian team about this bug?
