The instructions on this page describe how to execute a JQL search using JQL Search Extensions.
Text JQL functions
JQL functions are accessible from the Extended Search page or Extended Search filters in Jira advanced search.
ExactTextMatch
JQL functions are accessible only from Extended Search.
Matches issues that contain the text in the summary, description, or environment fields. Takes a case-sensitive text as an argument.
Example:issue in exactTextMatch("text")
ExactTextMatchCaseInsensitive
Similar to exactTextMatch but is case insensitive.
Example:issue in exactTextMatchCaseInsensitive("tExT") matches issues with TEXT, Text, tEXT etc.
WildcardMatch
Matches issues with a field containing a specified text (case-sensitive). You can use the asterisk (*) to match any text.
Examples:issue in wildcardMatch("summary", "Hello*")issue in wildcardMatch("fixVersion", "12.0*")issue in wildcardMatch("labels", "*Marketing*")issue in wildcardMatch("component", "Business*")issue in wildcardMatch("category", "MyOrg*")
The star symbol can be placed anywhere in the text – you can even place more than one.
Regex
Use the full power of regular expressions to match field values. Regular expressions are strict and case-sensitive.
You can use backslashes to escape special characters. The underlying implementation is using JavaScript syntax for regular expressions.
Examples:
issue in regex("summary", "^Hello.*") matches issues with summaries starting withissue in regex("fixVersion", "12.[0-5]") matches issues with versions from 12.0 to 12.5issue in regex("labels", "Marketing$")matches issues with labels that end with Marketingissue in regex("component", "Business.*")issue in regex("category", "MyOrg.*")issue in regex("Acceptance checklist", "can proceed") matches issues that have any checkbox with can proceed checkedissue in regex("Custom cascading select list", "- Georgia") matches issues with a cascading select field with Georgia as a child value
