There is another way, although it is not a good thing to chance source code of
solr and re-generate solr.war. I think you can achieve what you want by
changing only one line of SolrQueryParser.java and re-creating solr.war from
scratch.
Find the method
protected Query getPrefixQuery(String field, String termStr) throws
ParseException {...}
in SolrQueryParser.java
There should be a line
prefixQuery.setRewriteMethod(MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_FILTER_REWRITE);
just before the return statement.
If you replace this line with
prefixQuery.setRewriteMethod(MultiTermQuery.SCORING_BOOLEAN_QUERY_REWRITE);
And re-compile whole project, your newly generated solr.war will calculate
scores (taking account of index time boost values) for PrefixQuery (test* types
of queries)
Please let me know if this works for you.
