Thanks a lot Erick and Alex... I am going through the documents and blogs... thanks for the pointers.
Here is what I tried starting with "text_general"... a) Looks like it breaks on whitespace for e.g. for project_collaborator values as "myproject122_USC Dan Forrester ", "myproject123_USC follow-up John " If I query... http://localhost:8081/solr/mycollection/select?q= *project_collaborator:*Dan%20Fo**&wt=json&indent=true It returns records with "*Dan*" as well as "fo*".... Is it possible to ignore whitespace and "Dan Fo" can be considered as single term... <fieldType name="*text_general*" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.*StandardTokenizerFactory*"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" /> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> b) I also tried replacing "StandardTokenizerFactory" with "KeywordTokenizerFactory" but results are not accurate.
