Hello,

we are quite new to lucene.
At first we want to create a simple user search for our web application. My first thought was to map die 'display name' (= firstname + lastname) to a single field (analysed but not stored) and to put the database id of the user to a stored, not analysed field (but indexed).

Then the user should have a simple text box, where he should be able to write the whole name, parts of the name etc... So a search for "jo do" should also return the user "John Doe". How to create the query?

My first solution was to tokenize the string using whitespaces an add an * to each word and then concatenate all the words and use the query parser, so that the search string would be "jo* do*"...but then I've read, that I should not programmaticly construct a string and use the queryparser.

So what is the right way?
