Hrm.. can we see a more specific example of the type of data you are trying to query against here?

well the ? would work if the length of each token be same.
however, instead of A>B>C I want tags that change dynamically from 1 to
unlimited length.

I just I could just pad every token to a normalized length such as
00000000...000A but i am hoping there is a better method.

if we could tell lucene to do it like in a regular expression until a > is
there to insert ??'s ...

Another way could be to do the regularexpression outside lucene, but then
still there is need for fetching the hits.

Best.

I assume you want all of your queries to function in this way?

If so, you could just translate the * character into a ? at search time,
which should give you the functionality you are asking for.

Unless I'm missing something.

Hello,

Imagine I have the following documents having keys

A
A>B
A>B>C
A>B>D
A>B>C>D

now Imagine a query with keyword analyzer and a wildcard: A>B>*

which will bring me A>B>C , A>B>D and A>B>C>D

but I just want to get A>B>C and A>B>D

so can I make a query like A>B>* but does not have the > character after
A>B>

Best Regards,
-C.B.
