I suspect you're running afoul of tokenizers and filters. The parts of your schema that you published aren't the ones that really count.
What you probably need to look at is the FieldType definitions, i.e. what analysis is done for, say, text_ws (see <FieldType... in your schema). There you might find things like WordDelimiterFilter with several options. LowerCaseFilter, etc. Each of these changes what's placed in your index. Here's a good place to start, although it's not exhaustive: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters The general idea here is that the Tokenizers in general break up the incoming stream according to various rules. The Filters then (potentially) modify each token in various ways. Until you have a firm handle on this process, facets are probably a distraction. You're better off looking at your index with the admin pages and/or Luke and/or LukeRequestHandler. And do be aware that fields you get back from a request (i.e. a search) are the stored fields, NOT what's indexed. This may trip you up too...
