Hi Vikas,

Seems that you can use the WildCardQuery to do this, just put "a*" as the
query term.
But take caution to use WildCardQuery, because it can bring the performance
of your system down.

Yes, you can also implement your own filter to filter out the results which
don't starting with "a".

Either way is a solution.

Zhenjian

Hi Zhenjian YU



      I have implemented that with AJAX Search But when I type "*a*" in
textbox. It gives me all results which contains letter "a".

So I am getting "*A*merica", "*A*sia", "Fl*a*g" & "Zhenji*a*n" also.

But in actual I want only "America" & "Asia".



Thanks

hi, *vikas,



*the ajax way should work for you.



while in the lucene part, you should do something to handle the prefix

query.
