I'm surprised that it matches either - don't you need ".*in" where .* means match any character zero or more times? See the javadoc for java.util.regex.Pattern, or for Jakarta Regexp if you are using that package.
Unless you're an expert in regexps it is probably worth playing with them outside your lucene code to start with e.g. with simple String.matches(regexp) calls. They can take some getting used to. And try to avoid anything with backslashes if you can! -- Ian.
