how to search for special charcters

[Niklas Langvig <ni...@globesoft.com>]

Hi
How can in solr serach for all documents that containing parts of the word e-mail in it?

This seems to work localhost:8080/document/select?q="e\-mail"
But I don't want to have an exact match but instead do localhost:8080/document/select?q=*e\-mail*
But that doesn't work
How should I search for this text?
Say I would like to search for "it-manager" but I would like to get a hit for just "it-man" for example

Thanks
Niklas

Use an EdgeNGramFilterFactory in your analysis time query parser. But
note this will significantly increase the number of terms you are
searching for, which will hit performance.
