I think what you want is something like:
Query query = new PrefixQuery(new Term("phone","415-*"));
This assumes that "415-576-2323" is stored as a single term in the index
- searching with "415-" as a term will not match against full phone
numbers, unless you do some form of expansion (like the PrefixQuery
example I gave above).
