Question about query sintax

[zayhen <al...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

If I query for 'ferrar*' on my index, I will get 'ferrari' and 'red ferrari'
as a result. And that's fine. But if I try to query for 'red ferrar*', I
have to put it between double quotes as I want to grant that it will be used
as only one term, but the '*' is being ignored, as I don't get any result.
What should be the apropriate query for it?

FYI I am querying one standard text field.

when you add the double quotes you tell solr that the * should now be 
treated as a literal, and it's no longer a special character.  it is 
possible to have query structures like what you are interested in, but i 
don't think it's possible to express it using the Lucene syntax.
