Purpose

The advanced search allows you to build structured queries using the Jira Query Language (JQL) to search for issues. You can specify criteria that you can't define in the quick or basic searches. When you would want to search for the issue's summary having the numbers, you may run the following JQL.

Environment

.
Jira Software, Jira Service Management.

Solution

When you would want to pull the issues when the summaries has the numbers after the issue keys, users end up searching with the below JQL, which it does not return any output.

summary ~ "ABC_" ORDER BY created DESC 


We can get all the issues with matching summaries that have the numbers in it with the below JQL:

summary ~ "ABC*" ORDER BY created DESC 


We do have the Bug/Suggestion requests to address this behavior.
