lucene search categories wildcards

[gcoleman]

Is it possible to search for a category using wild cards.
This does not work

   PATH:"/cm:generalclassifiable//cm:AUSTRALIA*"
‍‍‍

Also is it possible to do a case insensitive category search.

This returns one result

   PATH:"/cm:generalclassifiable//cm:AFRICA"
‍‍‍

but this returns no results

   PATH:"/cm:generalclassifiable//cm:africa"
‍‍‍

Hi

As things are done as PATH then only exact case sensitive name matches are supported.

If you are trying to find a category (not things in catgeories) then you can use

+TYPE\:"cm:category" +cm\:name:australia*

This should do the case conversion and wildcarding you can not do via PATH. There will be no path constraint on the result.
