I'm pretty sure "*" isn't supported by DisMax. >From the Solr Wiki on DisMaxRequestHandler overview

Quotes can be used to group phrases, and +/- can be used to denote mandatory and optional clauses ... but all other Lucene query parser special characters are escaped to simplify the user experience......" -Todd Feak -----Original Message----- From: payalsharma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2008 4:51 AM To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org Subject: Issue with Search when using wildcard(*) in search term. Hi All, I am searching a term on Solr by using wildcard character "*" like this : http://delpearsonwebapps:8080/apache-solr-1.3.0/core510000043/select/?q= alle* here the search term(word) is : alle* This query gives me proper result , but as i give dismaxrequest as parameter in the query , no results are returned , query with dismax parameter goes like this : http://delpearsonwebapps:8080/apache-solr-1.3.0/core510000043/select/?q= alle*&qt=dismaxrequest Can anybody let me know the reason behind this behavior, also do I need to make any changes in my SolrConfig.XML in order to make the query run with both Wildcard as well as dismaxrequest. Thanks in advance.
