: Thanks for responding. : The actual data is ARIZONA, and so I have to look for it with the query AR*. : I can take out the quotes, but then it doesn't find anything.
sorry ... i was remembering an earlier email in this thread where you said you had indexed the text "Arizone" ... but i forgot that you posted your fieldtype, and that it uses the LowerCaseFilterFactory .. so it really doesn't matter what case your orriginal dat is in, once it gets indexed it's lowercase ... Which means you need to serach for name:ar* The reason name:AR* doesn't work (but name:ARIZONA does) is because when you are doing prefix or wildcard searches that "query analysis" can't be used ... for a lot of reasons that are covered in the mailing list archives, and is mentioned in the Lucene Java FAQ... "Are Wildcard, Prefix, and Fuzzy queries case sensitive?" http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/LuceneFAQ#head-133cf44dd3dff3680c96c1316a663e881eeac35a See also... http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-218 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-219 -Hoss
