GetPrefixQuery doesn't use analyzers, and it is a well known issue of Lucene.
Suppose a hypothetical analyzer(with stemming) which stems 'went' as 'go' and you want to search 'wentworth miller'. A search like 'went*' would be converted to 'go*' which i guess wouldn't be what you want.

I'm using the german analyzer with the 'GermanDIN2Stemmer'. In the lucene-index my name('Björn') is stored as 'bjorn'. If I performe a wildcard query like 'björ*' the function 'GetPrefixQuery' does not analyze the search term. So the query result is 'björ*' instead of 'bjor*'. (björ* = no match, bjor* = match) Thank You Björn ----- Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 2012.0.1913 / Virus Database: 2411/4940 - Release Date: 04/16/12
