I do not know enough about PhraseQuery to say how hard it would be to
add support for wildcards, but I am sure there is some method of doing
it -- it has just not been done. From what I can tell it would be easier
to stop using PhraseQuery and use SpanQuery's if you wanted to do this.
Maybe someone more knowledgeable about PhraseQuery could elaborate on
some of the difficulties of adding wildcard support...then again I think
you may find discussion of this if you search the archives.

OK thanks for all the info, as I said previously I worked round the
problem so I dont need to do any coding, but the obvious followup
question to above is:Why don't Phrase queries support wildcards, does
it not just not make sense, or has it just not been done yet, as i
said before there is nothing in the query syntax documentation to
indicate it isnt supported.
thanks paul
