: searches. That is fine by me. But I'm still at the first question: : How do I conduct a wildcard search for ARIZONA on a solr.textField? I tried
as i said: it really depends on what kind of "index" analyzer you have configured for the field -- the query analyzer isn't used at all when dealing with ildcard and prefix queries, so what you type in before the "*" must match the prefix of an actually indexed term that makes it into your index as a result of the index analyzer. If you add the debugQuery=true param to your queries, and compare the differnces you see in the parsedquery_toString value between searching for field:AR* and field:Arizona and field:ARIZONA you'll see what i mean. if you take a look at the Luke request handler which will show you the actual raw terms in your index (or the top N anyway), you can see what's really in there -- or --if you use the analysis.jsp interface, it will show you what Terms your analyzer will actaully produce if you index the raw string "ARIZONA" ... whatever you see there is what you need to be searching for when you do your prefix queries. -Hoss
