Equivalent to ' term* ' - in other words - a trailing wildcard on a term (but no leading wild card) and the term can appear at any position.   Searches on property value only. 

Algorithm:

The contains search has the following characteristics:

• This search is case insensitivein-sensitive.
   
• It only searches on the property value and literal property value.
  
• The literal property part of the query is boosted by 50.  This gives a literal match priority.
• A trailing wild card is added to all tokens in the search text.
• Lowercase and special characters removed during query parser parse.
  
• Parsing is done with Lucene's StandardAnalyzer.

Description of Algorithm:

Example of use:

The following examples are based on the Automobiles coding scheme.
