Cservenak, Tamas commented on MINDEXER-108: ------------------------------------------- What versions of lucene accepts {{*}} as prefix? Current master uses Lucene 5.x and it does not accept it... > Lift restriction on leading wildcard queries > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: MINDEXER-108 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINDEXER-108 > Project: Maven Indexer > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 6.0 > Reporter: Andreas Sewe > Fix For: 6.0 > > > The {{DefaultQueryCreator}} prevents queries with leading wildcard: > {noformat} > if ( query.startsWith( "*" ) || query.startsWith( "?" ) ) > { > throw new ParseException( "Query cannot start with '*' or '?'!" ); > } > {noformat} > While this was necessary in older versions of Lucene, the version used now > happily executes such queries. The restriction can thus be lifted. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
