Babu,
Use "PrefixQuery" and if you are looking for phrase also then
"PhrasePrefixQuery"...
check api for usage....

Subject: Multiple character wildcard search
Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to specify multiple character wildcard
searches in "Term"
Below is my requirement
1) I want search all names that starts with Z (Z*)
2) My programme will receive list of names in JAVA collection (Vector or
ArrayList or Hashtable), I want to search for all the names which are not
there in the collection
I have tried the below code to implement the 1st problem but the search
returns 0 result
Analyzer analyzer = new WhitespaceAnalyzer();
boolean createFlag = true;
.......
.......
.......
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexDir1);
Query query = new TermQuery(new Term("name", "Z*"));
When I execute teh above code the search is returning 0 Hits.
If I give the full name "Zane" the search returns 1 Hits.
Thanks in advance,
Babu
