    Search function with wildcard.

    what wildcard search support is available from Lucene?

    on this site http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#Whatwildcardsearchsupportisavailablefrom_Lucene.3F

    I found some different ways to use * and ?. but isn't it possible to make a search that will find all words with the searchterm insite

    it would be like

    *searchterm* 
    

    so when I would search for lets say

    "archt" 
    

    then it would find

    searchterm 
    

    because thats in the word ?

    Hello,

    I don't have a lot of experience with this, but the ezSearch source code might help. It does a lot of Lucene magic.

    You might find this SO question on leading wildcards useful; I have not tried it so can't say if it does what you want, but as your problem features a leading wildcard it might be worth looking at.

    Just seen your other recent post so I assume you've already looked into this, sorry!

    That's okay, I guess it's better to just post something that might help, and perhaps help others to make a better answer. and yes I have already seen this post, I feel a little like I have searched the hole internet by a solution for this.
