My client has an installation with 3 different clients using the same Solr index. These clients all append a * wildcard suffix in the query: user enters "abc def" while search is performed against (abc* def*). In order to move away from this way of searching, we'd like to move the clients away from this wildcard search at the moment we implement a new index. However, at that time, the client apps will still need to use this wildcard suffix search. So the goal is to have the wildcard search option "to append * suffix when not yet set" configurable on server side. I thought a tokenizer would do the work, but as the wildcard searches are detected before analyzers do the work, this is not an option. Can I enable this without coding? Or should I use a (custom) functionquery or custom search handler? Any thought is appreciated.
