Re: Recommendations for Getting Started - wildcard queries.

[Douglas Smith (at home)]

Hi Patrick, thanks for the feedback....that does help...and I did know that it was a direct port of java...I guess I was just expecting to find .NET specific stuff. I am not trying to make your life harder, and I know you guys do everything for free, and support an open source project, which is great...but maybe you could (more obviously) re-direct people to the java search syntax/faqs/file formats/wiki (all of the stuff that is not .NET specific) from your home page, until such time as Lucene.Net has its own pages.

If a feature is documented in the Java version, it works the same way in the .Net version. ...that's not to say the docs are always easy to find or make sense of... but that's its own issue.

There does not seem to be any overview of features, samples, getting started pages, or wiki pages available. The API is not very helpful in this regard. Particularly, I want to know if Lucence supports wildcard searches, and how to run them. Since the Java version supports wildcard queries, can I assume the .NET version does also? ....http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/features.html Does anyone have a short example of using the wildcard feature they can post?
