This is really a Solr server configuration question. By default they don't 
allow it because it can be quite a costly query - they usually prefer you to 
use other methods.

One such example is a reverse wildcard filter:

scriptions-ReversedWildcardFilter

The edismax handler is the only handler that ships with default solr 
configuration that by default enables suffix wildcards (queries of the form 
"*stuff"). I think it expects you use such a filter to make it efficient.

Please look at the solr wiki and mailing lists. This project is just a PHP 
client.
