Re: Are wildcard searches supposed to work with fields that are saved, indexed and not tokenized?

Ah! Good point.

And now I get 648 hits, but in some of them the contact doesn't even 
remotely resemble the search pattern.  For instance here are the what 
the contact fields contain for some of these hits:
Contact: GENERIC CONTACT
Contact: Andre Gardinalli
Contact: Brett Morrow  (that's especially interesting)
Contact: KEN PATTERSON

And of course there are some with Dennis' name too.
Any idea why this is happening?  I'm using the QueryParser.parse method.

I'm not sure you'll be able to do this with QueryParser with spaces in 
an untokenized field.  First try it with an API created WildcardQuery 
to be sure it works the way you expect.
I didn't really have any expectations other than what I saw didn't make 
sense.  I'll just add to the docs that [this set of fields] can't be 
searched with wildcards. 

Thanks,
Jim.

I was trying to write some documentation on how to use the tool and 
issued a search for:

contact:DENNIS MORROW
And sure enough I got 647 hits.  Then I changed the searc to:
contact:DENNIS MORRO?
