    examine leading wildcard enabled.

    Hello fellow search people! 
    I'm reworking my search functionality on a site.

    In the past i made my own Index, because, that was the way i learned it, and i added some data to the examine via ApplicationStartupHandler. But now i would like to use the stardard ExternalSearcher instead, and  add my data to that. 

    But i got an issue, that i can't use leading wildcard on the ExternalSearcher even though i have enabled ,  enableLeadingWildcards="true", in ExamineSettings.config. But that dosn't seem to do to trick, i still get the error saying i can't use either '?' or '*' as leading char in a search. THOUGH, i can do it on my own index. 

    Anyone who can tell me how come this is, why can't i do it on the externalSearcher, when i can on my own Index ? 

     

    Best regards Niclas Schumacher

    Niclas,

    I would download examine source and step through it then see if enableLeadingWilcards is being set properly then in the bowels is it being set on lucene search/index I seem to recall that i did'nt so you would then get the error.

    regards

    I got stuck on this aswell. The correct setting is without s enableLeadingWildcard="true"

    Confirm that the setting is ok by looking in the Examine Management dashboard

    After that you can do for example

    var wildCardQuery = "nodeName:" + query + "^3" + "nodeName:*" + query + "* " + "bodyText:" + query + " " + "*" + query + "*^0.8"; 
    var searchQuery = searchCriteria.RawQuery(wildCardQuery);
