Hello Otis,
Strongly can not agree with you, because I really _can_ search for
anything like '*new*'.
_Simply_Beacuse_I_have_working_code_that_do_it_
Here's a slice of output of my program:
Boolean wildcard search:
built query: bee*
news41:beem;
news42:beem;
news4:beem;
Boolean wildcard search:
built query: *ee
f3:qthree;
Boolean wildcard search:
built query: +be* +path:*ws42
news42:beem;
Boolean wildcard search:
built query: +path:*ws4 +be*
news4:beem;
As you can see the first search returned 3 entries, but the 3-rd -
only one. As well as the 4-th.
And the 2-nd search returned only entry "f3:qthree;"
(as we've expected: "built query: *ee").
And I've achieve it combining WildcardQueries in BooleanQuery, but
did not achieve it by simple call of QueryParser.parser.
