How does lucene handle the wildcard and fuzzy queries ?

How does lucene handle the prefix queries(wild card) and fuzzy queries
internally?

Lucene stores date in in for of inverted index in segments, i.e term->doc
id's. How does it search a word in the term list efficiently? And how does
it handle the adv queries on same the inverted index?


Thanks

The proper answer to all of these questions is the same and very simple: If 
you want "internal" details, read the source code first. If you have 
specific questions then, fine, ask specific questions - but only after 
you've checked the code first.

Also, questions or issues related to "internals" aren't appropriate on 
"user" lists.
