Your assumption is wrong. Solr and Lucene match entire words. You can use wildcards, but you need to be aware of the performance issues.
If there words are related parts of speech, like singular and plural, you can use a stemmer to index a root form. You can also configure synonyms at index time, for things like "TV" and "television". wunder On Mar 5, 2013, at 9:18 AM, Van Tassell, Kristian wrote: > I'm doing a search for "prod" and would assume it would pull back matches for > product, production, etc. but I get zero hits.
