Why can't I search for issues containing "BE"?

[Emily Myers]

On our team, in the ticket summary we start the summary with "FE" if it is front end related and "BE" if it is backend related. I am wanting to move that info out of the summary field and instead am using a field in the ticket where I check off either "FE" or "BE". I am trying to apply this change in bulk to all tickets that were already created with "BE" or "FE" in the summary. To do this I am putting either "FE" or "BE" into the issue search text box and selecting the project I want to search in. "FE" returns all the results I expect (tickets with "FE" in the summary). "BE" returns absolutely no results, even though I know I have several tickets starting with "BE". I have even tried specifically searching for "BE" in the summary field and I still get no results. How can I make it so these tickets starting with "BE" are returned in search results?

Hello @Emily Myers 

Try using this:

summary~"\"BE\""
