I'm getting very odd behavior from a wildcard search.

For example, when I'm searching for docs with a name containing the word
"International" the following occur:

q=name:(inte*) -- found "International"
q=name:(intern*) -- found "International"
q=name:(interna*) -- did not find "International"
q=name:(internat*) -- did not find "International"
.. adding 1 character at a time did not find "International"
q=name:(international*) -- did not find "International"

As indicated, the behavior is quite bizarre and causing issues with our use
and test cases. Is there something I can set for the fieldType of text in
order to make these kinds of searches working? Also, any insight as to why
this is not working would be a big help as well.

Pasted for reference:
    <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField"
positionIncrementGap="100">
      <analyzer type="index">
        <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
        <!-- in this example, we will only use synonyms at query time
        <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory"
synonyms="index_synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/>
        -->
        <!-- Case insensitive stop word removal.
          add enablePositionIncrements=true in both the index and query
          analyzers to leave a 'gap' for more accurate phrase queries.
        -->
        <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory"
                ignoreCase="true"
                words="stopwords.txt"
                enablePositionIncrements="true"
                />
        <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory"
generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1"
catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>
        <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
        <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English"
protected="protwords.txt"/>
      </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"
                enablePositionIncrements="true"
                />
        <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory"
generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0"
catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>
        <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
        <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English"
protected="protwords.txt"/>
      </analyzer>
    </fieldType>
