someone asked this question on the user list: http://www.lucidimagination.com/search/document/6f38de391b242102/prefixquery_vs_wildcardquery
it made me look at the wildcard rewrite(), where i see this: if (!termContainsWildcard) return new TermQuery(getTerm()); is it a problem the boost is not preserved in this special case? is it also a problem that if the user sets the default MultiTermQuery rewriteMethod to say, CONSTANT_SCORE_FILTER_REWRITE, that this rewritten TermQuery isn't wrapped with a constant score? Sorry if it seems a bit nitpicky, really the issue is that I want to do the right thing for a more complex query I am working on, but don't want to overkill either. -- Robert Muir rcm...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
