Hi,

Agree that this is annoying for foreign languages. I get the idea behind the 
original behaviour, but there could be more elegant ways of handling it. It 
would make sense to always run the CharFilters. Perhaps a mechanism where 
TokenFilters can be tagged for exclusion from wildcard terms would be an idea. 
That way we can skip stemming, synonym and phonetic for wildcard terms, but 
still do lowercasing and characterNormalization.
