The default for Lucene is true. Was this intentional? Or an
oversight?
I was just about to respond that this is likely the issue with your
non-totally-lowercased wildcard terms.
I don't consider it an oversight, but rather this whole analysis
business and wildcards are things that vary from project to project
on how they should be handled. If you, have, for example, a string
field and want to do prefixed queries on them (trailing asterisk) you
wouldn't want the term to be lowercased.
I think we should open up as many of the switches as we can to
QueryParser, allowing users to tinker with them if they want, setting
the defaults to the most common reasonable settings we can agree upon.
