> Can the trim filter factory work on > string fieldtypes? No. String field type (solr.StrField) is not analyzed.
You can use charfilter,tokenizer,tokenfilter with solr.TextField.
You can use this (TrimmedString) field definition:
<fieldType name="TrimmedString" class="solr.TextField" omitNorms="true">
<analyzer>
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory" />
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory" />
<filter class="solr.TrimFilterFactory" />
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
