I'd be curious to hear someone explain the mechanics of a String field. I'm not entirely sure but I believe a String field is not tokenized and thus only exact matches work. I think in your case you should be searching on your "name" field and faceting on the "actor" field.

The field needs to be available for facet. The value will not be a single letter word. But I should be able to search like a text fields. <doc> <field name="actor">Silver stolen</field> </doc> Schema.xml <field name="actor" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <field name="name" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true"/> <copyField source="actor" dest="text"/> I should be able to search for the word "silver" on actor field and should get the result facet as "Silver Stolen". But I am getting the result onle if I pass the complete "Silver Stolen" to the search query. Please help me. Am I missing anything in the config? thanks, Senthil
