ReversedWildcardFilterFactory question

[Susheel Kumar]

Hello,

I wanted to confirm that using below type for fields where user *may
also* search
for leading wildcard, is a good solution and edismax query parser would
automatically reverse the query string in case of leading wildcard search
e.g. q:"text:*plane" would automatically be reversed by edismax query
parser to search for plane* ?

Thanks,
Susheel

each token, to enable more efficient leading wildcard queries. -->
