To use SpanRegexQuery, you need to understand regular expressions.
The WildcardQuery syntax is _NOT_ the same as SpanRegexQuery syntax.
WildcardQuery supports a ? for single character match and * for
multiple characters. SpanRegexQuery use standard regular expression
syntax.
"200?" matches 20 and 200, but not 2001 (using java.util.regex, that
is).

"X? matches X, once or not at all"
Use "200.?" perhaps, or more appropriately for matching any year 2000
- 2009 as "200\d".

Hi,
Can this be use to search year 2000, 2001, 2002, ... 2009?
SpanFirstQuery snq = new SpanFirstQuery(new SpanRegexQuery(new Term
("year",
"200?")), 1);
I need to use it to search something like
Who is born in 200?
Thanks
