As far as i know lucene(.net) doesn't support the wildcard at the beginning of a searchterm --> http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_0_0/queryparsersyntax.html "Note: You cannot use a * or ? symbol as the first character of a search."

for example *myword

maybe because it's quiet difficult to search "everything" before the searchterm.

Despite that, We are looknig for a way to use the wildcard at the beginning. Does anyone know if this is possible?

One Thought was asearchterm, bsearchterm, ....z*searchterm ... but that seems a bit random to me.

thanks in advance
