Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to specify multiple character wildcard searches in "Term" Below is my requirement 1) I want search all names that starts with Z (Z*) 2) My programme will receive list of names in JAVA collection (Vector or ArrayList or Hashtable), I want to search for all the names which are not there in the collection I have tried the below code to implement the 1st problem but the search returns 0 result Analyzer analyzer = new WhitespaceAnalyzer(); boolean createFlag = true; ....... ....... ....... IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexDir1); Query query = new TermQuery(new Term("name", "Z*")); When I execute teh above code the search is returning 0 Hits. If I give the full name "Zane" the search returns 1 Hits. Thanks in advance, Babu
