(Lucene 1.9.1)
I have a "filename" field in Lucene that holds a value, like this: pagefile.sys If I run searches through QueryParser, and I do a search for: pagefile.sys pagefile pagefile. This all works because it goes through getFieldQuery, which tokenizes the string and generates a PhraseQuery out of it. But if I search for this: pagefile.* It doesn't work, because it goes through PrefixQuery, and PrefixQuery looks for terms that start with "pagefile.", but no terms will start with "pagefile.", because periods are not tokenized. Similarly, searching for: pagefile*sys Doesn't work, because it goes through WildcardQuery, and WildcardQuery is set up to only match terms as well, and no term starts with "pagefile" and ends with "sys". I've done a lot of googling on this, but I can't find a good answer for what I should do. I'm playing around with removing QueryParser entirely and generating a MultiPhraseQuery, but want to make sure I'm not reinventing an already invented wheel. --Colin McGuigan
