For an index created with StandardAnalyzer, with fields called "go_desc"
and "pu_desc", I construct the following query using QueryParser with
the StandardAnalyzer:

annotQueryStr = "go_desc:\"intracellular signaling\"";
 Query query =
QueryParser.parse(annotQueryStr,"pu_desc", new StandardAnalyzer());
log.writeToLog(Log.DEBUG," query is " + query.toString("pu_desc"));

My log output shows that the Query is parsed as:
         query is go_desc:"intracellular signaling"

So that seems to be working fine, and the query returns the expected
results.

If I construct add a wildcard to the query:
annotQueryStr = "go_desc:\"intracellular signal*ng\"";
 Query query =
QueryParser.parse(annotQueryStr,"pu_desc", new StandardAnalyzer());
log.writeToLog(Log.DEBUG," query is " + query.toString("pu_desc"));

My log output shows that the wilcard is replaced by whitespace:
        query is go_desc:"intracellular signal ng"
and this returns no results.

Why should StandardAnalyzer be doing this?  Note that this only happens
with "quoted" search terms.  If I try

annotQueryStr = "go_desc:signal*ng";
My logfile shows that
        query is go_desc:signal*ng

So it's handling wildcards fine in this case.

thanks,

Which version of Lucene are you using?
This should work with the latest (nightly) versions.
There are even tests that excercise this functionality and they pass.

That's too old.  Get the recent nightly build.
