Description

It would be usefull for some users if the logic that prevents QueryParser from creating WIldcardQueries with leading wildcard characters ("?" or "*") be moved from the grammer into the base implimentation of getWildcardQuery so that it may be overridden in subclasses without needing to modifiy the grammer directly.
