WildcardQuery error in Solr

Question

I use solr to search for documents and when trying to search for documents using this query \"id:*\", I get this query parser exception telling that it cannot parse

Answer 1

Actually, I have been using a workaround for this. I append a character to the id, eg: A1, A2, etc.

With such values in the field, it is possible to search using the query id:A*

But would love to find whether a true solution exists.
