I have an issue when I try to query using wildcard in a term

  • 0

I have an issue when I try to query using wildcard in a term that has a special character in it.
As an example if I index "Test::Here",I search using this using wildcard ? for "TE?T\:\:Here" (NOTE: I escaped ‘:’). I do not get any results. I use standard analyser and queryparser for indexing and searching.

Anyone encountered similar issue?

    StandardAnalyzer uses StandardTokenizer, so Test::Here is seen as two tokens: Test and Here. Wildcard queries are not run through an analyzer, so you end up matching colons against the terms that do not contain them. You need to use different tokenizer, for example WhitespaceTokenizer.
