Hello,

I am having a bit of a problem with Wildcard queries and I don't know how
to pin it down yet. I have a suspect, but I kind find an error in it, one
of the filters in the respective search field.

The problem is that when I do a wildcard query:
title:todesmä
it does return a result, but it also returns results that would match
title:todesma It is not supposed to do that because, due to the filter,
it's supposed to be equivalent to title:todesmae*

The reals problem is that if I search for title:todesmär* it does not find
anything at all anymore. There are titles on the index that would match
"todesmärsche" and "todesmärchen".

I have looked the Filter in a debugger, but I could not find anything wrong
with it. It's supposed to replace the "ä" with "ae", which it does, calls
termAtt.resizeBuffer() before it does and termAtt.length() afterwards. The
result seems perfectly alright. What it does not change is the endOffset
attribute of the CharTermAttribute object, that's probably because it's
counting Bytes, not characters; I replaced a single two-byte char with a
two one-byte chars, consequently the endOffset is the same.

Could anybody tell me whether there is anything wrong with the filter in
the attachment?
