Using Zend Search Lucene with wildcard

Question

I'm trying to wildcard a field using Zend search Lucene.

$index = Zend_Search_Lucene::open("/data/my_index1");

$doc = new Zend_Search_Lucene_Document();

$doc->addField(Zend_Search_Lucene_Field::Text('date',$date->format('dmY')));

$index->addDocument($doc);

$index->updateIndex();

$hits  = $index->find('2012*');

The last line is not working because my date is something like 02062012. If i try with $hits = $index->find('*2012*'); is not working either.

Any idea?

You should also verify that your search configuration allows a leading '*', as that is not the default in Lucene.
