**Description:** I am using StandardAnyalzer to retrieve the stored data using wildcards. This works fine for almost all cases but when I use a wildcard with a restricted character like Hyphen, the matching data is not retrieved. **Steps to reproduce:** You can run the following code to see this behavior: ``` public static void Test() { // Use an in-memory index. var indexDirectory = new RAMDirectory(); Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(LuceneVersion.LUCENE_48); using (var writer = new IndexWriter(indexDirectory, new IndexWriterConfig(LuceneVersion.LUCENE_48, analyzer))) { var document = new Document { new TextField("content", "This is just some text", Field.Store.YES), new TextField("cataloguenumber", "DF-TESTER", Field.Store.YES) }; writer.AddDocument(document); } var parser = new MultiFieldQueryParser( LuceneVersion.LUCENE_48, new[] { "cataloguenumber", "content" }, analyzer) { AllowLeadingWildcard = true }; var directoryReader = DirectoryReader.Open(indexDirectory); var searcher = new IndexSearcher(directoryReader); DoSearch("DF-TES", parser, searcher); // Returns the matching document DoSearch("DF-TES*", parser, searcher); // Does not return anything } private static void DoSearch(string queryString, MultiFieldQueryParser parser, IndexSearcher searcher) { var query = parser.Parse(queryString); var docs = searcher.Search(query, 10); foreach (var scoreDoc in docs.ScoreDocs) { var searchHit = searcher.Doc(scoreDoc.Doc); var cataloguenumber = searchHit.GetValues("cataloguenumber").FirstOrDefault(); var content = searchHit.GetValues("content").FirstOrDefault(); Console.WriteLine($"Found object: {cataloguenumber} {content}"); } } ``` When I run the above code, method `DoSearch` with query string: `DF-TES` returns the valid result, however with `DF-TES*` this does not return anything. It looks like the query is not rewritten correctly when I am adding a Wildcard and hence leading to this behavior. **Expected behavior** On running the above example with wildcards we should get the matching result set. Let me know if any more details are needed or if I haven't understood this correctly. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
