Hi,
Your use case is different than ad hoc retrieval. Where you have set of documents and varying queries. In your case it is the reverse, you have a query (string masks) stored ????A?????, and incoming documents are percolated against it. out of the box Solr does not have support for this today. Please see : http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_7_2/memory/org/apache/lucene/index/memory/MemoryIndex.html By the way wildcard ? matches a single character.

I'm asking for a very simple task, a way to customize how solr matches a string, does this exist in solr ? *---------------------* *Muhammad Gelbana* http://www.linkedin.com/in/mgelbana On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 10:09 PM, Ahmet Arslan <iori...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Please see : https://github.com/flaxsearch/luwak > > Ahmet > > > On Thursday, April 24, 2014 8:40 PM, Muhammad Gelbana <m.gelb...@gmail.com> > wrote: > (Please make sure you reply to my address because I didn't subscribe to > this mailing list) > > I'm using Solr 4.6 > > I need to store string masks in Solr.
