Hoss Man updated LUCENE-489:
----------------------------

        Summary: Allow QP subclasses to support Wildcard Queries with leading 
"*"  (was: Wildcard Queries with leading "*")
    Description: 
It would be usefull for some users if the logic that prevents QueryParser from 
creating WIldcardQueries with leading wildcard characters ("?" or "*") be moved 
from the grammer into the base implimentation of getWildcardQuery so that it 
may be overridden in subclasses without needing to modifiy the grammer directly.


  was:
It would be nice to have wildcard queries with a leading wildcard ("?" or "*").

I'm aware that this is a well-known issue, and I do understand the reasons 
behind it,
but try explaining that to our end-users ... :-(





I think the revent comments in this feature request make a legitimate argument 
about the extensability of wildcard support in the QueryParser -- I see no 
reason not to reopen this request given a slight change in title and 
description.

This doens't mean I know of any active work to impliment this change (patches 
are always welcome) just that I think it's a worthwhile request to leave open.
