I'm experienced with Lucene, less so than SOLR. I am looking at two
systems built on top of SOLR for a library discovery service:
blacklight and vufind.
I checked the raw lucene index using Luke and noticed that both of
these indexes have single character terms in the index, such as "d" or
"f". I asked about this on the vufind list, and was told I didn't
understand SOLR and why it would need these.
So I'm now asking: why would SOLR want single character terms? "a"
is usually a stopword. I know the Library MARC data from which the
index is derived has a lot of these characters because they denote
subfields in the data. But why would we want them to be searchable?
