Can somebody please tell me as what is the actual difference between

q parameter queries.
The query parser used is the difference you're hitting. q is parsed
by the setting of defType, whereas q.alt is parsed by default using
the "lucene" (Solr's subclass) query parser.
I am trying to do the wildcard search with q query parameter, which is
supported by q.alt parameter. Please let me know how it is treating
the
query with wildcard in case of q.alt parameter.
You can set defType=lucene to get the q parameter parsed using the
Solr subclass of Lucene's query parser, which supports wildcard queries.
