: Would the query term(s) passed in a request need to be stemmed/analyzed : outside of the request (prior to), or is that handled internally? I'm still : making my way through the code but need to answer that question in short : order.
Solr field types all have at least one Analyzer -- sometimes two if the field type is configured to use a differnet analyzer when indexing vs querying. The Analyzer's are all configured via the schema.xml file, and internally wrapped into a single uber Analyzer that delegates to the appropraite field specific Analyzer (see the IndexSearcher methods getAnalyzer and getQueryAnalyzer) for examples of configuring the analyzers for various fields, take a look at the example schema.xml, or the analyzer documentation on the wiki... http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters -Hoss
