I have stumbled again upon this (conterintuitive?) search issue in Jira - so I have decided to write it down.
you need to put the text between quotes for a wildcard search to work:
The implementation of the Jira QuickSearch feature can be found in Lib/Jira.ahk -> Jira_Search function.
Problem Description
Jira JQL text search e.g. summary~script won't find an issue with the word 'scriptrunner' in it because it looks for an exact search by default.
I have tried then using wildcard like summary~script* but it is not a valid JQL
Solution
This is explained here: Search syntax for text fields | Jira Software Data Center and Server 8.21 | Atlassian Documentation
summary~"script*"
NWS PowerTool AutoHotkey
The Jira Quick Search is implemented in the NWS PowerTool QuickSearch functionality.
You can run it from your Browser Window.
The Hotkey assigned to run the QuickSearch is Win+F (F like Find)
The quick search will automatically enquote text for Jql expression summary~ and description~ if there is a * (wildcard) as shown in the picture below:
