Mark Harwood created LUCENE-9365:
------------------------------------
Summary: Fuzzy query has a false negative when prefix length ==
search term length
Key: LUCENE-9365
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-9365
Project: Lucene - Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: core/query/scoring
Reporter: Mark Harwood
When using FuzzyQuery the search string `bba` does not match doc value `bbab`
with an edit distance of 1 and prefix length of 3.
In FuzzyQuery an automaton is created for the "suffix" part of the search
string which in this case is an empty string.
In this scenario maybe the FuzzyQuery should rewrite to a WildcardQuery of the
following form :
{code:java}
searchString + "?"
{code}
.. where there's an appropriate number of ? characters according to the edit
distance.
