but now you're obviously not using the dismax request handler anymore...

The standard query parser is meant for queries "generated by forms", 
whereas the dismax query parser is meant for things we do with Solr in 
TYPO3: web search with user input.

The dismax query parser has some more advantages over the standard query 
parser like searching multiple fields, boosting and more... However, the 
standard query parser supports the full Lucene query syntax (including * 
for wildcards), whereas edismax doesn't. So this is why your change 
works, but it's still a hack though.

In Apache 3.1+ there is the edismax query parser whcih combines bes tof 
both worlds...


Anyway, wildcard support is now in trunk - both EAP and public. You need 
Apache Solr 3.1+ with edismax for it...
