Question related to phrase search in lucene/solr?

  hi all
I have question is it possible to perform a phrase search with wild  cards  in 
solr/lucene as if i have two queries both have exactly same  results one is
+Contents:"change market"

and other is 
+Contents:"chnage* market"

but i think the second should match "chages market" as well but it does not 
matches it. Any help would be appreciated

Regards
Ahsan

In my experience, 90% of the times people ask about using wildcards in a 
phrase query what they really want is simple stemming of the terms -- the 
one example you've cited is an example of this.  If your "Contents" field 
uses an analyzer that does stemming then "change market" and "changes 
market" would both match.

Hi,

Lots of threads on that topic here: 
http://search-lucene.com/?q=phrase+query+wildcard&fc_project=Lucene

And if you click that JIRA facet you'll see this as #1 
hit: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1486
(note: that's Lucene, not Solr)
