Query wrapped in double quotes disables wildcard search

[nnarhinen]

A search query like

?include_docs=true&limit=100&default_operator=AND&q=renova*%20kytkin*&debug=true

produces:

"analyzer": "class org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer",
"etag": "1dde3b58c453e3",
"fetch_duration": 41,
"limit": 100,
"plan": "BooleanQuery(+PrefixQuery(default:renova,boost=1.0)+PrefixQuery(default:kytkin,boost=1.0),boost=1.0)",
"q": "+default:renova* +default:kytkin*",

but if each search term is wrapped in double quotes, like

?include_docs=true&limit=100&default_operator=AND&q=%22renova*%22%20%22kytkin*%22&debug=true

the result is

"analyzer": "class org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardAnalyzer",
"etag": "1dde3b58c453e3",
"fetch_duration": 42,
"limit": 100,
"plan": "BooleanQuery(+TermQuery(default:renova,boost=1.0)+TermQuery(default:kytkin,boost=1.0),boost=1.0)",
"q": "+default:renova +default:kytkin",

sot it isn't doing a prefixquery. I find this unintuitive.

Hmm.. is it so that we would have to use ComplexPhraseQueryParser to achive what I'd like to have.

And if so, would it break existing functionality?
