You might look at the analysis page from the admin console for the field in question, it'll show you what various parts of the analysis chain do.
But I agree with Jan, having your field as a "string" type is a red flag. This field is NOT analyzed, parsed, or filtered. For instance, if a doc has a value for the field of: [My life], only [My life] will match. Not [my], not [life], not even [my life] (ignore all brackets, but quotes are often confused with phrases....). It may well be that this is the exact behavior you want, but this is often a point of confusion.
