> We are searching across multiple indices using a MultiSearcher. There seems 
> to be a problem when we use a WildcardQuery to exclude documents from the 
> result set. I attach a set of unit tests illustrating the problem.
> In these tests, we have two indices. Each index contains a set of documents 
> with fields for 'title',  'section' and 'index'. The final aim is to do a 
> keyword search, across both indices, on the title field and be able to 
> exclude documents from certain sections (and their subsections) using a
> WildcardQuery on the section field.
>  
>  e.g. return documents from both indices which have the string 'xyzpqr' in 
> their title but which do not lie
>  in the news section or its subsections (section = /news/*).
>  
> The first unit test (testExcludeSectionsWildCard) fails trying to do this.
>  If we relax any of the constraints made above, tests pass:
>  
> * Don't use WildcardQuery, but pass in the news section and it's child 
> section to exclude explicitly (testExcludeSectionsExplicit)</li>
> * Exclude results from just one section, not it's children too i.e. don't use 
> WildcardQuery(testExcludeSingleSection)</li>
> * Do use WildcardQuery, and exclude a section and its children, but just use 
> one index thereby using the simple
>    IndexReader and IndexSearcher objects (testExcludeSectionsOneIndex).
> * Try the boolean MUST clause rather than MUST_NOT using the WildcardQuery 
> i.e. only include results from the /news/ section
>    and its children.
