Hi Olivier,

thanks for your answer.
i get it to work now with Solr 1.4. The problem was the missing query 
type in my request.
i changed $query->keywords from protected to public and added these 2 
lines in the query modifier:
$query->setQueryType('standard');
$query->keywords=$query->keywords.'*';

so if * would be allowed in further versions, this would be very nice :-)
