Ah, BTW, since the problem seems to be a query-parser-issue a simple workarround could be done by simple replace all Umlauts with ASCII-Characters (ä = ae, ö = oe, ü = ue for example) before sending the query to Solr and use a solr.MappingCharFilterFactory with the same replacements (ä = ae, ö = oe, ü = ue) while indexing.
It's unflexible in some cases, but it works so far. Greetz, Sebastian -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/wildcards-and-German-umlauts-tp499972p2998449.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
