The asterix syntax comes from using a query parser that transforms the query into a PrefixQuery object. sv On Fri, 1 Oct 2004, Robinson Raju w Hi , > Would there be a problem if one enters space while using wildcards ? > say i search for 'abc' . i get 100 hits as results > 'man' gives - 200 > 'abc man' gives 300 > but > 'ab* man' > 'abc ma*' > ab* ma*' > ab* OR ma* > .. > all of these return 0 results. > can we not enter space or do an OR search with two words one of which > has a wildcard ? > > Regards, > Robin > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
