Hi, We are using lucene in a chemistry database, and we are dealing with special words containing both digits and characters in English alphabets, such as PFC-0234. To prevent lucene from cutting the word into two, we have replaced all dashes into underscores, so PFC-0234 is stored and indexed as PFC_0234 in the lucene index. However, none of them works for searches containing wildcard characters. For example, none of the following works: PFC_*, PFC*, PF*, PFC_0*, PFC_02*, but PFC-0234 works. Can anyone tell me what is wrong here? We have tried WhitespaceAnalyzer, but it's not working either.
Thanks, Eddie
