Failure of wildcard search in the middle of a term
I am using Lucene 1.4.1, I have indexed a PDF document.
<http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/bu/finance/Striking_A_Balance_Web.pdf> http://www.calgary.ca/docgallery/bu/finance/Striking_A_Balance_Web.pdf
In the document there is the word Calgarians.
A search of Calgarians finds the document.
A search of Calgar* finds the document.
A search of Cal*s finds nothing.
Using a standard query parser and an AliasAnalyzer , I know I have used the wildcard in the middle of a search string before and it returned documents. Is anyone else having this issue? or does anyone have an idea of the cause? No errors are occurring just no results are being returned.

Try searching cal*s, the analyzer probably indexed the word in lowercase,
but the QueryParser by default doesn't do that for WildcardTerms. See
QueryParser.setLowercaseWildcardTerms().

Does your analyzer employ stemming? Maybe the ending gets ripped off and the
word is indexed as 'calgarian' or even 'calgar'.
Did you write the Analyzer yourself? I can't find it in any package to see
whether it does stem tokens...
