[jira] Resolved: (LUCENE-489) Wildcard Queries with leading "*"

["Otis Gospodnetic (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Otis Gospodnetic resolved LUCENE-489:
-------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

You can do this if you create your WildcardQuery's programmatically (i.e. not via QueryParser).
Support for that is not in QueryParser because leading wildcards may not perform well.
This may be mentioned in the FAQ, but I didn't check.
