>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4232
>             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
>          Issue Type: Wish
>          Components: jackrabbit-core, query
>    Affects Versions: 2.16.0
>         Environment: AEM 6.2 SP1 CFP9
>            Reporter: Henry Kuijpers
>              Labels: gql, query, search

> When using the Bulk Editor feature in AEM, the Jackrabbit GQL integration is actually consulted to execute the query.
> We were trying to search for nodes that have a property called 'name' that contains the letter 'a'.
> So, we were trying the following expression:
> {code:sql}
> name:a
> {code}
> which was not working for some reason. So we figured it might have to do with wildcards, so we tried:
> {code:sql}
> name:*a*
> {code}
> but that also did not work.
> Then we searched around and found the unit tests, which gave an indication of the bug that we encountered:
> https://searchcode.com/file/114218560/jackrabbit-core/src/test/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/integration/GQLTest.java
> In case you search for 'name', it does not actually use the property 'name', but instead the node name?
> And there does not seem to be a way to search for properties with wild cards; Any '*' seems to be ignored.
> *Problems:*
> * Not able to search for name-properties - Instead the node name is being searched (with full wildcard support)
> * Not able to search for any property with a wildcard - Instead the wildcards are dropped (ignored) (property:value* will become property:value)
