OK, first: wildcarding and stemming don't get along well together. Since you've stemmed the field, enginee* would not match the stemmed term engin. This is actually pretty tricky to try to implement. For instance, how would enginee stem? So the fqs you posted are going to mislead you in that regard.
If you want to examine the actual values in your index, consider using TermsComponent or Luke. Either will show you exactly what's being searched against. I suspect that your fq entries (as typed) are going against the default field of "text" as defined in your schema, which doesn't stem, so that's leading you astray possibly. Finally, you may be getting bitten by scoring, field norms and all that. If you have a doc ID that you _know_ contains "engineers boots", try using debug with explainOther ( http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters#explainOther) which might help you understand what's happening with the doc you care about....
