pattern matching and boolean searches

[Edward Quick]

Hi,

I posted this question the other day but didn't get a reply which may have 
been because it was an an annoying FAQ, or the subject wasn't catchy enough! 
Anyway, one more try, so here goes! Please help if you can.

Should I be able to do lucene type searches with Nutch? I know Nutch can now 
do type: and url: queries, but how about pattern matching queries? For 
example:

te*t
tes?t

or Boolean searches? I haven't got it to work so far, but wondered whether 
there was some I needed to enable. Incidentally, yes, I did enable the 
index-more and query-more plugins.

Thanks for any help.

Ed.
