Hello,
I am using Apache Lucene 8.9.0 to parse queries that are entered by humans.
I am using the
`org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.MultiFieldQueryParser` which works
very well so far.
However I would like to automatically use the prefix notation (`*`) for all
terms in the query, instead of searching for exact terms, so the humans
entering the queries don't have to type the `*` after each term.
An example query could be: `author:(murphy OR remender) AND batman AND
release_date:1999`, which should be transformed to `author:(murphy* OR
remender*) AND batman* AND release_date:1999*`.
Is there any way to do this with the Lucene query parsers ? I checked the
classic and standard query parser, but couldn't find any option to do so.
If there was a way to decide which fields could automatically be prefixed,
that would be even better.
Thanks a lot
