My aim is to handle * phrases *, as you say, but I don't know how to build a
WildCardQuery for that purpose... I read in the documentation that those
kind of queries can't start with '*' (e.g. * phrase *), so I tryed
MultiPhraseQuery instead.
Forgive me if I am too newbie, 10 days ago I didn't know this tool
existed...
