Left wildcards seem to work if you explicitly use a
WildcardQuery e.g.
Term t = new Term("id", "*ucene");
Query query = new WildcardQuery(t);
but if use QueryParser with an analyzer e.g.
Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer();
Query query = QueryParser.parse("*ucene", "id", analyzer);
get an exception:
org.apache.lucene.queryParser.ParseException:
Lexical error at line 1, column 1. Encountered: "*" (42), after : ""
at org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser.parse(Unknown Source)
Tested on RC5. Haven't tried other ways of building a query. In my
simple tests terms with left and right wildcards like "*lucene*"
worked too, even if the whole word was included.
