Thanks Ludovic, you're absolutely right, I should have added that.
BTW, there are patches that haven't been committed, see:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1604
and similar.

And to complete the answer of Erick,
in this search,
customer_name:"Joh*"
* is not considered as a wildcard, it is an exact search.
another thing, (it is not your problem...),
Words with wildcards are not analyzed,
so, if your analyzer contains a lower case filter,
in the index, these words
Really, really, get in the habit of looking at your query with
&debugQuery=on appended, it'll save you a world of pain ..
customer_name:John Do*
doesn't do what you think. It parses into
customer_name:John OR default_search_field:Do*
you want something like customer_name:(+John +Do*) or
+customer
Im using EdgeNgrams to do the same thing rather than wild card searches.

Make sure your search phrase is enclosed in quotes as well so its
treated as a phrase rather than 2 words
