If you use "*" you use Multiterm analysis path, which is semi-hidden and is a lot more limited to the things done with normal tokens: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/MultitermQueryAnalysis
The Analyzer components that are NOT multiterm aware cannot be used that way. Looking at: http://www.solr-start.com/info/analyzers/ , you can see that only LowerCase analyzer is multiterm aware (with (multi) in the brackets). So, the rest are not used. You may switch to EdgeNGrams or similar instead. Regards, Alex.
