So I tried to look on google for an answer to this before I posted here. Basically I am trying to understand how prefix searching works.
I have a dynamic text field (indexed and stored) "full_name_t" I have some data in my index, specifically a record with full_name_t = "Robert P Page" A search on: full_name_t:Robert yields that document, however a search on full_name_t:Robert* yields nothing. Why? To get around this I am doing something like (full_name_t:Robert OR full_name_t:Robert*) But I would like to understand why the wildcard doesnt work, shouldn't it match anything after the first characters of "Robert"? Thanks -Rupert
