public class WildcardQuery extends AutomatonQuery
Implements the wildcard search query. Supported wildcards are*
, which matches any character sequence (including the empty one), and?
, which matches any single character. '\' is the escape character.Note this query can be slow, as it needs to iterate over many terms. In order to prevent extremely slow WildcardQueries, a Wildcard term should not start with the wildcard
*
This query uses the
MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_AUTO_REWRITE_DEFAULT
rewrite method.- See Also:
