  Hi Bhavin,

  Thanks for your response. I tried the below   Query query = new 
PrefixQuery(new Term("name", "Z*"));
   
  but it still the query returns 0 result.

  Also can you please tell me how to search form  JAVA collection?

  Thanks,
  Babu

    Babu,

    Use "PrefixQuery" and if you are looking for phrase also then
    "PhrasePrefixQuery"... 
    check api for usage....
