Hi,

I have a large index with a field that contains a important number of 
terms. I knew that searching with a term starting with a wildcard was not 
a good idea; looking at WildcardTermEnum(IndexReader,Term) and 
IndexReader.terms(Term) I understand better why now. I have been asked 
however by my users to provide this type of feature. do you plan to 
address this in the future, or are there any workarounds? how do people do 
when they really need to be able to search for terms that start with 
wildcards?
thanks
vince
