Hi,
I am using Lucene version 3.1
Previously I had trouble regarding special characters as when I entered
"---" as my input, it gave the following error
*Caused by: org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException: Encountered " "-"
"- "" at line 1, column 1.
Was expecting one of:
"(" ...
"*" ...
<QUOTED> ...
<TERM> ...
<PREFIXTERM> ...
<WILDTERM> ...
"[" ...
"{" ...
<NUMBER> ...
<TERM> ...
"*" ...
*To overcome this, I used escape() method of the QueryParser and worked
fine. But now, unlike previously, the search for "item*" yielded no results
because I guess it escaped the asterisk character too. How should I go about
preventing this from happening ? I am using MultiFieldQueryParser.
