: Is there a way to do truncation with DisMax?
:
: Just being able to search for (photo*) would be helpful in quite a
few
: places.

: I'm afraid i'm not understanding your question ... what do you mean
by
: "truncation" ? ... your example:  (photo*) seems to be asking about
: a prefix or wildcard type search, which might match photomat,
: photographer, photoaaaaaaaaaaa, etc... is that what you're asking
about?

: there is no way at the moment to do prefix or wildcard searches ...
but
: off the top of my head i think it might be fairly easy - there is a
: partical escaping that happens to escape all QueryParser meta
characters
: except + and - .. we could probably make that configurable so "*" was
left
: alone as well. ... i think there would need to be some additions to
the
: DisjunctionMaxQueryParser to loop over the aliased fields too
though.

This is exactly what I am thinking about,  I used the wrong term, I was
thinking wildcard and wrote truncation... doah.
