So I'm trying to do silly stuff, just to poke a bit at wildcard queries. So
sue me... But I ran across this....
And yes, I know that creating a wildcard query is dangerous and downright
silly when you don't have a wildcard in the term, but this still seems like
a case should, say, default to a simple query rather than throw an
exception....
Lucene 1.9.1
Query q1 = new WildcardQuery(new Term("Text", "a"));
.
.
.
Hits hits = searcher.search(q1);
Caught Exception
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
