Yes....so you think that if you use StandardAnalyzer(), and you index a field with 192.168.102.151, and then you use the queryparser [1] to search for "102", you do not get a hit? Lucene would not have the status it has if it could not do this. Obviously, it depends on your analyzer how the indexing is done exactly. I disencourage you to use the WildCardQuery when it is not needed.
