Lotus Notes FTSearch java api not returning results for wildcard search

The FTSearch method of lotus.domino.Database class doesn’t return results for wildcard search.For example my query string is :-

FIELD Type = “Group” & FIELD ListName = “julyGro*”.

It should return all the groups starting with julyGro instead it returns 0 results.Is there any solution for this or workaround to make it work?

Subject: Replaced “&” with “and”

Tried with “and”.Still It doesn’t work.

Subject: I haven’t checked the syntax in a long time …

… could you try replacing the “&” with “and”?
