weird behavior between 2 enviorments

[Joel Nylund]

I have 2 environments one works great for this query:
my osx environment:

http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=countryName:%22Bosnia%20and%20Herzegovina%22 
  - returns 2 results

my linux environment:

http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=countryName:%22Bosnia%20and%20Herzegovina%22 
  - returns 0 results


same configs, same index etc, both using solr 1.4, in linux env if I  
run this query:

/solr/select?q=id:96465437

<response>
−
<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">1</int>
−
<lst name="params">
<str name="q">id:96465437</str>
</lst>
</lst>
−
<result name="response" numFound="1" start="0">
−
<doc>
...
<str name="countryName">Bosnia and Herzegovina</str>
....
</doc>
</result>
</response>

So the records are in the index.....

I checked the admin, they are indexed using the same type (text), and  
I cannot see any differences.

any idea why it works on one env and not the other? anything I can  
check in admin to get to the bottom of this?

thanks
Joel
