Hi Erick, I've managed to fix the problem, it was to do with not encoding certain characters. Escaped with \ and it all works fine now :) . Sorry I was just being insane, look at debugQuery output helped.
I know about the string field, this is kind of a uuid field that I am storing, so it it desired that it always be exact match, so I am being careful about why I chose that type. I am going to start looking at all that is available as Analyzer soon, something that does string distance match would be cool....
