Niels Kühnel commented on LUCENENET-420:
----------------------------------------
I think that the WildcardTermEnum.TermCompare should just compare the string
chars without any special local considerations. It's confusing that the
thread's culture may cause issues like this.
If String.StartWith("...", StringComparison.InvariantCulture) was default a
special tokenizer could be used if you actually wanted some special localized
behavior.
Again, thanks for looking at it.
> String.StartsWith has culture in it.

> I've been hunting a weird bug for a long time. I finally found it's cause.
> I'm Danish, thus my .NET culture is "da-DK". In this culture "Gaard", doesn't
> start with "Ga" because it thinks that "aa" is "å" (in Danish it was before
> 1948).
> That gives some unexpected results when doing prefix queries.
> The solution is to add StringComparison.InvariantCulture in all StartsWith
> comparisons.
> To verify my claim, try running:
> Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("da-DK");
> Assert.IsFalse("Gaard".StartsWith("Ga"));
> Assert.IsTrue("Gaard".StartsWith("Ga", StringComparison.InvariantCulture));
> Cheers,
