Hello Otis, Strongly can not agree with you, because I really _can_ search for anything like '*new*'.
_Simply_Beacuse_I_have_working_code_that_do_it_ Here's a slice of output of my program: Boolean wildcard search: built query: bee* news41:beem; news42:beem; news4:beem; Boolean wildcard search: built query: *ee f3:qthree; Boolean wildcard search: built query: +be* +path:*ws42 news42:beem; Boolean wildcard search: built query: +path:*ws4 +be* news4:beem; As you can see the first search returned 3 entries, but the 3-rd - only one. As well as the 4-th. And the 2-nd search returned only entry "f3:qthree;" (as we've expected: "built query: *ee"). And I've achieve it combining WildcardQueries in BooleanQuery, but did not achieve it by simple call of QueryParser.parser.
