             Summary: Lift restriction on leading wildcard queries
                 Key: MINDEXER-108
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINDEXER-108
             Project: Maven Indexer
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 6.0
            Reporter: Andreas Sewe


The {{DefaultQueryCreator}} prevents queries with leading wildcard:

{noformat}
if ( query.startsWith( "*" ) || query.startsWith( "?" ) )
{
    throw new ParseException( "Query cannot start with '*' or '?'!" );
}
{noformat}

While this was necessary in older versions of Lucene, the version used now 
happily executes such queries. The restriction can thus be lifted.
