Wildcard Searches with Lucene
Lucene supports wildcard searches, please refer to official document.
The single character wildcard search looks for terms that match that with the single character replaced. For example, to search for "text" or "test" you can use the search
te?t
Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. For example, to search for test, tests or tester, you can use the search:
test*
You can also use the wildcard searches in the middle of a term.
