: i have encountered a problem concerning the wildcard. When i search for : field:testword i get 50 results. That's ok but when I search for : field:testwor* i get just 3 hits! I get only words returned without a : whitespace after the char like "testwordtest" but i wont find any single : "testword" i've searched before. Why can't I replace a single char at the end : of a word with the wildcard?
What does the fieldtime for "field" look like in your schema? what exactly is the URL you are using to query solr? i notice in particular you say "I get only words returned without a : whitespace after the char" ... which suggests that you expect it to match documents that have whitespace in the field value (ie: "testword more words" ... but if you are using an analyzer that splits on whitespace, those are now seperate terms -- wildcard and prefix searches match on indexed terms -- not the entire field value (if you want that, you need to use something like StrField or the KeywordTokenizer .. but i doubt that's really what you want) -Hoss
