you can use value.MultipleCharacterWildcard() extension tol escape the *, however I have never been able to get it to work if * is the first character lucene just complains.

so "test" will work, but not "test" very frustrating, have tried pretty much everything but it just errors with

'*' or '?' not allowed as first character in WildcardQuery

Thanks for answering. The problem is that MultipleCharacterWildcard always appends the asterisk. What I wanted to accomplish is that if the users search is "test" it should not be a wildcard search, but if they type "test*" or "te*st" it should.

After digging into this I ended up with a native query instead.

Here is the code to solve your problem with an asterisk as first letter

ISearcher searcher = index.GetSearcher();
var query = (Examine.LuceneEngine.Search.LuceneSearchQueryBase)searcher.CreateQuery(null);
query.QueryParser.AllowLeadingWildcard = true;

Hi

Any solution or code snippet to get results with wild card in Umbraco 8 Examine.

My expectation would be as per below: search keyword =Net*, which should search for Netapp or Network.

Thanks In advance.
