Hi,
Thanks for the help.
BTW, if anyone is interested: I tried the same with KeywordAnalyzer -
added a field with value "m_szName", and tried to find it using
"FieldName:m_szN*" but failed. Someone in the Lucene IRC channel
showed me why - QueryParser, by default, lowercases all expanded terms
(e.g. those with '*' in them), so it actually looked for "m_szn*".
Thanks again,
Shlomy
