Need help for using wildcard query

Hi All,

We are using Java API of elasticsearch(0.19.1) for our application. I want
to store a document field with value "1-d:3.4.5" and then want to search
for the document having the value of the field "starts with 1 and end with
4.5". I tried to use WildcardQueryBuilder as follows

WildcardQueryBuilder wildcardQuery = QueryBuilders.wildcardQuery(, "1*4.5");

It is not able to retrieve any document. Can any one suggest me how to
achieve the same.

Thank you in advance.

maybe your field is being analyzed into multiple terms? you can use the
analyzehttp://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/reference/api/admin-indices-analyze.htmlendpoint to check.
