Can I do Wildcard searches in Solr 1.3?

Question

Simple question, simple answer. Is it possible? If so, a link to where I can find out more about it?

I'm looking for doing a search such as "*apple" which would return stuff like "apple computer, big apple" etc.

Answer 1

Leading wildcards (e.g. "*apple") are not yet supported in Solr. You can vote/watch the issue here.

Other wildcard searches work just fine.

Answer 2

Yes you can, but you need to specify a field (or a wildcard field). See here
