Hi Everyone,

I am trying to construct a query which matches a sub-string of a field. As an 
illustration, I would like to search the following words by using the sub-string 
"test":

- test
- testing
- contest
- contestable

I realize that Lucene does support wildcard searches using "*" and "?" in the custom 
query. Therefore, the query string "*test*" should give me the right result. However, 
the Lucene query syntax (http://jakarta.apache.org/lucene/docs/queryparsersyntax.html) 
does not allow the wildcard "*" as the first character of the search. Therefore, the 
query "*test*" is invalid. Does anyone have a solution to build the query to achieve 
the same result?

Thanks,
Terence
