well, i saw that Micro* and micro* as a bug! and no, i havent encountered any bugs so far; this is my first stint with lucene, and I am aiming to get the basic stuff right, and therefore I thought that I would enquire.... there was this thing that I read on the FAQ site though: that ? and * cant be the first characters of the search string. and specific reasons for this limitations, and is there any simple work-around? also, i rememebr readin somewhere that one had to build the index in some special way, but since you say no; i will take that. i anyways dont rememebr where I read it, so no point asking about something if I am myself not sure.... -rishabh
