Hi, Lucene's phrase queries don't support wildcards and I'm thinking about the best way to "fix" this. One way would be to change QueryParser so that it builds a MultiPhraseQuery when it encounters a wildcard inside a phrase. However, to expand the wildcard the QueryParser needs an IndexReader.
The other way might be to add a rewrite to PhraseQuery that returns a MultiPhraseQuery with the terms expanded. QueryParser would need to be modified so that the "*" isn't already lost when it's added to the phrase query. The second solution looks better to me. Has anybody solved this problem already and would like to share his experiences?
