Yes, but not EndCharacters.

So you can index "word.withdot" because the dot is not at the
beginning or ending of the word.

Swish applies the same processing to search words as it does when
indexing.  So the above search word is "foobar.", but swish doesn't
allow that as a word because it ends in a dot, and you said in your
EndCharacters to not allow that.

I would agree that's probably a problem with the parser.  That is, a
smarter parser would notice the wild card and ignore the fact that the
dot is not allowed there because there might be a match.
