Be sure to error trap the exception Boolean.TooManyClauses specifically and the core RuntimeException as the secondary trap. For the Boolean.TooManyClauses exception, I give the user a message like, "Too broad of a search. Try again". Searches like "f*" will produce this exception. Also, the wildcard search by default doesn't handle prefix wildcard searches such as "*at". You can either use the WildCardQuery (something like that) or error trap and give a message like "Invalid query. Try again." Hope this helps.
