My *guess* is that what you're seeing is that wildcard searches are not analyzed, in this case not run through the stemmer. So your index only contains "system" and the funky variants (e.g. "systems/"). I don't really understand why you'd get "systems/" in your index, but I'm assuming that your filter chain doesn't remove things like slashes.
So, you have "system" and "systems/" in your index, but not "systems" due to stemming, so searching for "systems*" translates into "systems" OR "systems/" OR.... and since no documents have "systems", you don't get them as hits. All that said, you need to revisit your indexing parameters to make what happens fit your expectations. I'd advise getting a copy of Luke and pointing it at your index in order to see what *really* gets put in it.
