Does edismax support wildcard queries?

[Swapnonil Mukherjee <Sw...@gettyimages.com>]

Hi Everybody,

We have started to the use the dismax query handler but one serious limitation of it is that it does not support wild card queries? I think I have 2 ways to overcome this problem 

1. Apply some old patches to the dismax parser itself from here https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-756
2. Or start using the Solr trunk which will allow me to switch to edismax. I am specially hopeful of moving to solr trunk and using edismax as I believe this well help me support fuzzy search in future as well. 

So my question is does edismax support wildcard queries? I could not understand by looking at the source code though.

Thanks

Well, the claim is that eDismax supports "full Lucene syntax", so I
assume so.

Here's the JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1553
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1553>which indicates that you
have two choices: Trunk or the 3.x build, see
