Both those > fields are of type text. The "text" field type has a porter stemmer, so "ricky" will most likely stem to "ricki" and "johns" will stem to "john". Try it out in the admin analysis debugging page. For proper names, you probably don't want a stemmer. Perhaps just a WhitespaceTokenizer followed by a LowercaseFilter. -Yonik
