My first guess would be that this is related to Wildcard queries not being analyzed. Check the Lucene FAQ, I believe the explanation is there. Also, go to Solr Admin page and run your query in the Analysis section of the Admin to see what's going on.

I have some documents on a solr index (both in type text and string) and both don't work like that. For example I have a document called Test Document, if I search for Test* it doesn't find this document, only if I search for Tes*. For me it appears that it works more or less like a "+" on a regex than like a "*" in a regex or wildcard search. What I'm I doing wrong? []'s -- Leonardo Santagada
