Let's say I have indexed this info [field: value]
record 1: name: Bob
record 2: name: Boby
record 3: name: Bob*
record 4: name: *

when I query for "Boby" is it possible to get as results
record 2,3,4? Right now I get only record 2, using KeywordAnalyzer

thanks a lot

Hi,

I am a little bit confused. When you say you have indexed:


Do you mean you have literally indexed the asterix (*) symbol? What are you trying to achieve? In case you really indexed the asterix and you search for 'Boby' I expect only to get record2.

Do get record 2,3 and 4 you would have to execute a boolean query like:


The question mark would ensure that there is at least one character after Bob. Check this out for more information about Lucene's query syntax: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html#Boolean%20operators

I am not sure if this helps you at all. Maybe you could give a little bit more context to your problem.
