Hi,

I am using Solr 4.2.1. I have a couple of questions regarding using leading and 
trailing wildcards with phrase queries and doing positional ordering.

*       I have a field called text which is defined as the text_general field. 
I downloaded the ComplexPhraseQuery plugin 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1604) and it works perfectly for 
trailing wildcards and wildcards within the phrase. However, if we use a 
leading wildcard, then it leads to an error saying that WildCard query does not 
permit usage of leading wildcard. So, is there any other way that we can use 
leading and trailing wildcards along with a phrase ?
*       I am using boosting (qf parameter in requestHandler in solrConfig.xml) 
to do ordering of results that are returned from Solr. However, the order is 
not correct. The fields that I am doing boosting on are "text_general" fields. 
So, is it possible that boosting does not occur when the wildcards are used ?
