Subject: Re: [lucy-user] How to search through the indexed documents by
 specifying
 wildcards in the query string

The method sets a boolean (on/off) so passing any true value turns it 
on, passing any false value should turn it off.

With the value set to true, these 2 query strings are treated the same way:

  field1=foo
  field1:foo

with the value set to false, they are not.

Lucy core does not support wildcards. This extension does:
