The default for Lucene is true. Was this intentional? Or an oversight?
Waaaaaaaaay back before Solr was opensourced, and Chris was the only
"user", I thought he needed to do prefix queries where case sensitive
wildcard queries (hence I set it to false). I think I may have been
mistaken about that need, but by that time, I didn't know if anyone
depended on it, so I never changed it back.
A default of false is actually more powerful too. You can do prefix
queries on fields that have a LowercaseFilter in their analyzer, and
also fields that don't. If it's set to true, you can't reliably do
prefix queries on fields that don't have a LowercaseFilter.
