i have field called text_stem that has a kstemmer on it, im having
trouble matching wildcard searches on a word that got stemmed

for example i index the word "america's", which according to
analysis.jsp after stemming gets indexed as "america"

when matching i do a query like myfield:(ame*) which matches the
indexed term, this all works fine until the query becomes
myfield:(america's*) at which point it doesnt match, however if i
remove the wildcard like myfield:(america's) the it works again

its almost like the term doesnt get stemmed when using a wildcard

im using 1.4 nightly, is this the correct behaviour, is there
something i should do differently?

in the mean time ive added "americas" as protected word in the
kstemmer but im afraid of more edge cases that will come up
