Hi all,

I want to discuss a little problem, lucene doesn't support *Term like queries.
I know that this can bring a lot of results in the memory and therefore it is restricted.


I think that allowing this kind of search and limiting the amount of returned results would be
a more usefull aproach. Since the german language has a lot of words that are concatenated or
derivated from another words by using a prefix.


I'm not a good german speaker but I can say that maybe a half of the german words are a part of the
category described above.


for example
Himbeer, Erdbeer, Johanesbeer -- all of them are fruits from a certain category. So it will make sense to search
for "*beer". Also ... I know that the word is ended in "beer" but I don't know the exact word ...
"*beer" will help me a lot.


also:
schreiben = to write
beschreiben = to describe
verschreiben = to subscribe ..

I would like to use "*schreiben".

So my question is if there is a simple solution for implementing the funtionality mentioned above.
Maybe subclassing one class and overwriting some methods will sufice.



Thank in advance,

Sergiu
