Jim, Does app*l or even a*p* work? Perhaps "apple" gets stemmed to something that doesn't end in "e", such as "appl"? Regarding your config, you probably want to lowercase before removing stop words, so you'll want to change the order of those filters a bit. That's not related to your wildcard question.

This is a straightforward question, but I haven't been able to figure out what is up with my application. I seem to be able to search on trailing wildcards just find. For example, fieldName:a* will return documents with apple, ardvaark, etc. in them. But if I was to try and search on a field containing 'apple' with 'a*e' I would return nothing. My gut is telling me that I should be using a different data type or a different filter option. Here is how my text type is defined: <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected="protwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> Thanks for your help. </fieldType>
