Lance Norskog commented on SOLR-1980:
-------------------------------------

Another use case is with phrases, especially sloppy phrases.
"^hello kitty" would find "hello kitty" at the beginning of the text.
"^hello"~5 would find "hello" among the first 5 words, but the closer to the 
beginning, the better. This is especially interesting for consumer searches- 
people tend to type the first word of a movie title first.

> Sometimes you need to specify that a query should match only at the start or 
> end of a field, or be an exact match.
> Example content:
> 1) a quick fox is brown
> 2) quick fox is brown
> Example queries:
> "^quick fox" -> should only match 2)
> "brown$" -> should match 1) and 2)
> "^quick fox is brown$" -> should only match 2)
> Proposed way of implmementation is through a new BoundaryMatchTokenFilter 
> which behaves like this:
> On the index side it inserts special unique tokens at beginning and end of 
> field. These could be some weird unicode sequence.
> On the query side, it looks for the first character matching "^" or the last 
> character matching "$" and replaces them with the special tokens.
