Thanks, Mark, for your answer,

I already have multiple fields, one per language, to be able to use
different stemmers. Wouldn't become this too much?

what does this mean "at the same position" and how could I do this?

Currently I think about dropping the stemming and only use
prefix-search. But as highlighting does not work with a prefix "house*"
this is a problem for me. The hint to use "house?*" instead does not
work here.

I am using the following definitions (testing it with and without stemming):

and, well, the parser? Where is the parser specified? Do you mean the
request handler "qt" (that will be "standard", as I do not set it yet)?

Can the prefix length be set in Solr? I could not find such an option.

much better performance is always good. When will this feature be
available in Solr?

Well, the index currently contains about 5000 documents. These are
HTML-pages, some of them are concatenated with PDF/DOCs (Downloads
linked from the HTML-page) converted to text. The index data is about
11MB (optimized). So think, this is just a smaller index.
