Confluence page is not found when searching for it in order to create a link in the Jira ticket

Summary

When a user is trying to link the Confluence page to a ticket, Jira will search the recently viewed pages and suggest a list of only these pages. Searching with text matching the title name of a page that is not recently viewed, does not show in the suggestion.

Solution

 To use a partial word search you need to add the asterisk "*" symbol at the end of the word:

• For example, there is a Page with the title "automation-test-1 desc".

• This page does not appear in the Recently Visited drop-down.

• If we type, "test*",  the search should show theautomation-test-1 descpage and all the pages containing the keyword "test" within the space.
