Hi Chiristian, The query r?che may not return at least the same number of matches as roche depending on your analysis chain. The difference is roche is analyzed but r?che don't. Wildcard queries are executed on the indexed/analyzed terms. For example, if roche is indexed/analyzed as roch, the query r?che won't match it.

We are using Solr 5.4.1 and, using the admin console, I am triggering for instance searches with term 'roche' in a specific core. Everything fine, I am getting for instance two matches. I would expect at least the same number of matches with term 'r?che'. However, this does NOT happen. I am getting zero matches. Same problem occurs with 'r*che'. 'roch?' does not work neither but 'roch*' works. Switching debug mode brings following output: "debug": { "rawquerystring": "roch?", "querystring": "roch?", "parsedquery": "text:roch?", "parsedquery_toString": "text:roch?", "explain": {}, "QParser": "LuceneQParser", ... Any idea? Thanks and cheers, christian
