QueryParser should now allow leading '?' wildcards
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: LUCENE-2262
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2262
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: QueryParser
    Affects Versions: Flex Branch
            Reporter: Robert Muir
            Assignee: Robert Muir
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: Flex Branch


QueryParser currently throws an exception if a wildcard term begins with the ? 
operator.

The docs say this:
{noformat}
When set, * or ? are allowed as the first character of a PrefixQuery and 
WildcardQuery.
Note that this can produce very slow queries on big indexes. 
{noformat}

In the flex branch, this is no longer true. foo?, ?foo, f?oo, these are all the 
same from a performance perspective.
