    Description

      The getWildcardQuery mehtod in AnalyzingQueryParser.java need the following changes to accept leading wildcards:

      protected Query getWildcardQuery(String field, String termStr) throws ParseException
      {
      String useTermStr = termStr;
      String leadingWildcard = null;
      if ("*".equals(field))

      { if ("*".equals(useTermStr)) return new MatchAllDocsQuery(); }

      boolean hasLeadingWildcard = (useTermStr.startsWith("*") || useTermStr.startsWith("?")) ? true : false;

      if (!getAllowLeadingWildcard() && hasLeadingWildcard)
      throw new ParseException("'*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery");

      if (getLowercaseExpandedTerms())

      { useTermStr = useTermStr.toLowerCase(); }

      if (hasLeadingWildcard)

      { leadingWildcard = useTermStr.substring(0, 1); useTermStr = useTermStr.substring(1); }

      List tlist = new ArrayList();
      List wlist = new ArrayList();
      /*

      • somewhat a hack: find/store wildcard chars in order to put them back
      • after analyzing
        */
        boolean isWithinToken = (!useTermStr.startsWith("?") && !useTermStr.startsWith("*"));
        isWithinToken = true;
        StringBuffer tmpBuffer = new StringBuffer();
        char[] chars = useTermStr.toCharArray();
        for (int i = 0; i < useTermStr.length(); i++)
        {
        if (chars[i] == '?' || chars[i] == '*')
