Lucene range query - how to query for a string range with no specific upper maximum?

I'd like to perform a range query with Lucene. Normal syntax is along the lines of:

{Aida TO Carmen}

How do I structure a query such that all values above the minimum are acceptable? I'm using Lucene.Net (2.9.2)

Looks like in Java, you can set the upper bound as null, and it should work: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/22758

I'm personally using Tire in Rails, and I have no idea how to achieve this.

Before lucene 3.x,You can use RangeQuery like following:

QueryParser queryParser = new QueryParser(whichField, new StandardAnalyzer());
Query query = queryParser.parse(searchString);
