Try to use CJK analyzer for both indexing and searching chinese language. Then you won't need "text"->"*text*" transformation.
There might be some false positives in the results though. You can also may want to try smartcn analyzer which is dictionary based, but I have no expertise to evaluate the results (we still use CJK for asian languages, as there are no complains so far) 2010/7/1 Kolhoff, Jacqueline - ENCOWAY <kolh...@encoway.de> > > Hi! > > We are using lucene in our project to search through information objects > which works fine.
