Hey,

I have issues when searching pages using the search CQL API, using a string that contains double quotes.

For example, I have page with the following title: what"s.
When trying to search it using the REST API I get:
/rest/api/content/search?cql=title="what"s" – Could not parse cql
/rest/api/content/search?cql=title="what/"s" – Could not parse cql
/rest/api/content/search?cql=title=%27what"s%27 – 0 results

If anyone came across this issue and has any idea of how can I search and find pages with double quotes it will be very helpfull.

Thanks,
Oren

We are facing the same issue. I’m surprised that candid’s topic has been quiet since two years the problems were still not fully addressed by Atlassian
