You can go to town by subclassing QueryParser and overriding getWildcardQuery - so sure, this is possible. But it really is a custom feature that shouldn't belong in the core QueryParser, I'd argue.

Hey Otis,

I saw this FAQ :
http://www.jguru.com/faq/view.jsp?EID=538312
Is it possible to turn on stemming for wildcard searches. In my example
below, if the document contains "create" then I want the query "create*"
to return this document. So, in my case it is better to have the stemmed
query "creat*" which returns the document rather than the unstemmed
query "create*" which does not return the document.


Regards,
Michael

I believe I covered this in a Lucene FAQ entry at jGuru.

Hi,

I noticed that if I append a * to the words, create, created,
creating,
creates, etc. then the search does not return the expected document.
But
if I use creat* then the search does return the expected document.

I would like to be able to use the complete words and append a
wildcard
to the end. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

Regards,
Michael
