For example: searching - issues for `display bug` returns all issues matching both those words, in any order. - - To find the exact term, use double quotes: `"display bug"`. -- Limitation - - For performance reasons, terms shorter than three characters are ignored. For example: searching - issues for `included in titles` is same as `included titles` - - Search is limited to 4096 characters and 64 terms per query. - - When searching issues, partial matches are not allowed.
