Ability to have Exact Text Statistics with Free Text Search

[Jacob Feisley]

We would like the ability to run statistics on a given text field using the exact strings, but still be able to search for them as if it were free text.

Example Data:

• Project A
• Project B
• Project C

Currently if we enable the free text searcher then, as stated in the Wiki, the Statistics will show:

• a
• b
• c
• project

If we set the exact text searcher then it displays as desired, however, we lose the ability to use the following JQL:

customfield ~ "A"

or

customfield ~ "project"

and instead must use exact searches such as:

customfield = "Project A"

I am not sure if this is something that could be implemented in the plugin or if there is a limitation in JIRA that prevents this.

hello,

what you described is indeed the current behaviour of jira

At the moment we are using :

com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.indexers.impl.ExactTextCustomFieldIndexer

so this issue would require a custom indexer

After investigation :there is a design limitation in JIRA that prevents this change... for the moment.

ok, this enhancement will be deliver in the next release

Version 1.1.8 : You can search for the exact field content or combine several expression using JQL, ie : !~ , ~ = , != , in , not in , is empty , is not empty .
