Newbie question about search behavior

[Mike Thomsen <mi...@gmail.com>]

Is it possible to set up Lucene to treat a keyword search such as

title:News

implicitly like

title:News*

so that any title that begins with News will be returned without the
user having to throw in a wildcard?

Also, are there any common filters and such that are generally
considered a good practice to throw into the schema for an
English-language website?

Thanks,

Mike

You can append it in your middleware, or try the EdgeNGramTokenizer [1]. If you're going for the latter, don't forget to reindex and expect a larger index.
