Hi, I've got some short fields (phone num, email) that I'd like to search using good old string matching. (The full query is a boolean "or" that also uses real text fields.) I see the warnings about wildcard queries that start with *, and I'm wondering... do you think it would be a good idea to index all the suffixes? Eg, a phone num 5551234, would become 7 values for the "phoneNum" field: 4, 34, 234, etc. So "512*" would be a hit.
And maybe do something with the boosts so it doesn't overvalue the match when it hits multiple values. ? Rob
