I have an index of about 30M records. One of the fields contains company names. I am using an out-of-the-box QueryParser to create queries. My users want to do a search that will match both STATE INDUSTRY and STATE INDUSTRIES as a company name. So they are trying the search "state industr*" or "state industr"*. The first search returns nothing. The next search returns every document in the index, even though most of them don't have STATE or INDUSTRY anywhere in them. This seems to be true regardless of which phrase is used.
Two questions: * What is the proper syntax for a QueryParser to do a wildcard query combined with a phrase? * Why does the syntax "my phrase"* return every document?
