I don't think there's any question of the old behaviour being
incorrect -- the javadoc says that ? matches a single character,
not zero or one characters, a single character.
On the other hand, does Erik's new RegexQuery support "cat.?" (the
".?" does match zero or one characters)? (Where's the javadoc
for that? I don't see any comments in the source, let alone
anything else :-))
You dinged me fairly! Ok, tonight's TODO list, add javadocs to
RegexQuery! The RegexQuery supports _whatever_ syntax the regular
expression implementation you chose supports. It simply enumerates
terms and does the match using the expression you provided using the
desired implementation (JDK 1.4 regex, or ORO, etc).
