Okey, that makes sense. copyField just copies the content. It has nothing to do with analyzers. Two solutions comes to my mind. 1-) If you are using data import handler, I think (i am not good with regex), you can use regex transformer to populate these two fields. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler#RegexTransformer 2-) If not, you can populate these two field in a custom UpdateRequestProcessor. There is an example to modify and to start here : http://wiki.apache.org/solr/UpdateRequestProcessor
