Just a correction to what David says... text_rev is for allowing
wildcard at the beginning of a term, not the end. Wildcards at the
end work on standard text field types.

If the user query is not going to have wildcards then use NGrams. I
talk about the black art of ngrams in my book. There are multiple
ways of configuring it. If the query will have wildcards, Solr
comes with a sample schema with a field type named, "text_rev" (I
think that's what it's named) which supports wildcard searches such
as "ado*". You could add the wildcard if it's not there. I've done
this sort of thing with various boosting to get exact matches scored
higher.
For doing wildcards in a query string against NGram indexes, you'll
have to wait till I am granted permission by my employer to open-
source this (~2 months).

- How am I able to use wildcard searches with Solr? EX: querying
Ado with a result that would retrieve something like Adolescent.
