that actually brings me to another question...

1) to what extent are wildcards supported by lucenes? 
2) what are the known bugs and where can i find the relevant documentation pertaining 
to them?
3) Is there some specific way in which the indexes are to be built, for them to return 
wildchar based search results? I believe there is but i am not sure where to look for 
that information.

thanks 
Rishabh
