Siegfried Goeschl commented on JSPWIKI-489:
-------------------------------------------
You cannot use a * or ? symbol as the first character of a search (see
http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/queryparsersyntax.html) because you have a
wildcard query where the wildcard is at the beginning of the search string -
this causes performance problems. Usually you get a Lucene exception when doing
that - but an implementation can choose to overwrite this method to silently
ignore that exception

> Key: JSPWIKI-489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-489
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.8.1
> Reporter: Bruno Peeters
>
> We have noticed that searching for two letter words is not possible, e.g.
> looking for "AS IS". Sometimes it could be nice if this would be possible,
> but this is not the point of this issue.
> A search for "%%sub" (or for "%%sup") results in all pages where these
> formatting instructions are used.
> A search for "su*" results in lots of pages where words starting with "su"
> appear.
> A search for "%%su*" is however unsuccessful, no pages are found, although
> there are indeed pages with %%sup en %%sub.
