Is making removal of wildcards configurable planned for DisMaxRequestHandler

[Robert Krüger <kr...@signal7.de>]

Hi,

I'm rather new to Solr and for my current projects came to the
conclusion that DisMaxRequestHandler is exactly the tool I need, except
that it doesn't allow prefix queries.

I found a thread in the archive were someone mentioned the idea of
making this behaviour configurable (which characters to strip from the
query parameter). Is someone working on this or is my best option
currently to implement this behaviour by copying code from
DisMaxRequestHandler and modify the code that strips illegal operators?

Thanks in advance,

Robert

I don't know of anyone working on it publicly.  it's the kind of thing 
that is (or at least: should be) fairly trivial to hack a line or two of 
code to make it recognize "*" as a wildcard character ... the 
tricky part comes in making general improvements to the parser so it's 
more configurable and useful in more permutations of usecases.
