Hi Ankur, For the leading wildcard you may want to try the ReversedWildcardFilterFactory:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Filter+Descriptions#FilterDescriptions-ReversedWildcardFilter in the code of CPQ there is a loop over filters of your text field and a specific check: if (factory instanceof ReversedWildcardFilterFactory) { allow = true; leadingWildcards.put(e.getKey(), (ReversedWildcardFilterFactory) factory); } HTH, Dmitry On Tue, Nov 19, 2013 at 5:27 PM, GOYAL, ANKUR <ag3...@att.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am using Solr 4.2.1.
