title: How does Lucene work with quotes and wildcards
body: <p>When I search in lucene for the Dutch word bieten is their a difference between the following: <code>bieten</code>, <code>"bieten"</code>, <code>"*bieten*"</code> and <code>*bieten*</code> when using the DutchAnalyzer and allowing leading wildcards?</p>
  
  <p>Because as far I can find in thee parser syntax the quotes are there just to handle spaces and all words are always search like their are wildcards around them.</p>
  
  <p>The reason I ask this question because I found out that by using the DutchAnalyzer all words are striped of their plural before being entered in the index. Which in my case means biet is stored in the index and not bieten.
  And when searching with bieten or "bieten" or "<em>bieten</em>" it also modifies the query to biet.<br>
  But when I'm using <code>*bieten*</code> the query doesn't change and stays a plural. Which doesn't give any results.<br>
  So</p>
  
  <pre><code>  bieten   --&gt;&gt; biet 
   "bieten"  --&gt;&gt; biet
  "*bieten*" --&gt;&gt; biet 
   *bieten*  --&gt;&gt; *bieten*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why is the last search translated to a different query then the others.</p>
