I am sorry, I dont understand what you are trying to say. Its confusing to me.
If you want a Fuzzy query, where the first 3 chars ("the") always match (a PrefixQuery) and the rest of the term is fuzzy, use this Constructor and pass 3 as prefixlen: http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_1/api/all/org/apache/lucene/search/FuzzyQuery.html#FuzzyQuery(org.apache.lucene.index.Term, float, int) e.g. new FuzzyQuery(new Term("item.name","thesuffix"), 0.79, 3) This will match all terms starting with "the" (prefix length 3) and will apply a fuzzy to the rest ("suffix"). Is this what you want to have? By the way neither prefix queries nor fuzzy queries have a "*" after the term, this is only notation of QueryParser but not the term.
