Hi.
    After much searching around the XWiki documentation, Apache Lucene 
documentation and googling, I have not succeeded in finding a solution to the 
following questions:
1. How does one locate all attachments with an extension say 'xls'? I am 
thinking that the query should look like "filename: *.xls", but Lucene query 
syntax does not allow * to be the first character of a search
2. Many times users remember some portion of the attachment filename. What 
would be the syntax to locate such attachments. Something like "filename: 
*Report*.doc"
3. The SearchApplicationLuceneSearchQueryHelp page on code.xwiki.org does not 
mention how to constrain a search to a given space. What is the field name for 
specifying a space. For example trying to locate the homepage of users with 
first name John  by using "space:XWiki name:John*" does not work
4. Going one step further, is there a way to specify a regular expression 
syntax for a Lucene search query? The range operator syntax is not quite 
self-explanatory. For a query like "name:[Aida TO Carmen]", what does it mean 
to locate all pages whose name are between Aida and Carmen? Would it match 
AidaSummerVacation? I tried "filename:[A TO Z]*.xls" to locate an attachment 
name 'Test.xls' but that didn't work.

If anyone can shed light on educating the finer details of using the full power 
of Lucene search, I would very much appreciate that.

Thanks,
Milind
