Analyze_wildcard

From the docs:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/query-dsl/query-string-query.html
analyze_wildcardBy default, wildcards terms in a query string are not
analyzed. By setting this value to true, a best effort will be made to
analyze those as well.
Wildcards works for me, even though the docs say it not on by default.

Searching for "jo?n" gives me results with "john".

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

It does not mean that wildcard won't work, it just means that they the text
will not be analyzed (though, by default, it is lowercased).

Ok, got it thanks :wink:

When I read "analyzed" I immediately thought "interpreted".
