This is not yet possible. In a future release, we will enable the "standard" request handler from the Solr backend, so full boolean, wildcard and fuzzy searches will be possible then.
thanks.
Could you therefore suggest another solution for me? I am about to design a Knowedge Base system in existing eZ intalation. To do that i will create content classes:
* Solution
* How to article * Patch
etc, each with Facts, Symptoms, Goals, Fixes, Notes, all searchable. I would also like (buut not necessarily) to implement a search logics and weighting (symptoms more important than notes etc).
To do that I would need a good search engine with
* boolean
*wildcards * business logic described above
is there a search engine for ez that could do that?

You might also want to try to use the q.alt parameter instead of the normal q parameter. That allows you to go around the limitations to the dismax handler and access for example wildcard searches.You can also get fuzzy search by using "~". But be a bit careful cause using .alt might also affect other parts of the search query. For example you wont have highlighted results. But in general it should work.
Now the search looks like this is ezsolr.php:
'q' =>$searchText,
Try to change this to for example
'q.alt' =>$searchText.'*'
Not sure if its the solution your looking for but might work until the standard request handler is available.
Do agree this is not a pretty fix. You have any better, easier solution if one needs to have a simple wildcard search with the dismax handler? If I can get the highlighting to work it would be even better:)
