There is a "text_rev" field type in the example schema.xml file in the
official release of 1.4. It uses the ReversedWildcardFilterFactory to revers
a field. You can do a copyField from the field you want to use for leading
wildcard searches to a field using the text_rev field, and then do a regular
trailing wildcard search on the reversed field.
