Hi Peter, Yes you are correct. There is no way to disable it.
Weird thing is javadoc says default is false but it is enabled by default in SolrQueryParserBase. boolean allowLeadingWildcard = true; http://search-lucene.com/jd/solr/solr-core/org/apache/solr/parser/SolrQueryParserBase.html#setAllowLeadingWildcard(boolean) There is an effort for making such (allowLeadingWilcard,fuzzyMinSim, fuzzyPrefixLength) properties configurable : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-218 But this one is somehow old. Since its description is stale, do you want to open a new one?
