Wildcard search with q query

[dabboo]

Hi,

I am trying to perform wildcard search using q query. 

e.g. If I give tes* as the query, it works fine and returns the results as
expected.

But if I give *tes*, then it throws an exception saying that we cant have
wildcards in front of any string.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Amit Garg

Hi Amit,
Leading wildcard searches are not allowing in Solr Out-of-the-box. There
are other techniques to overcome this handicap.
Search for Leading Wildcards in the user mailing list archives will
return the necessary mail threads which might be pretty useful to you.
