Hi Pratpor, With recently added (to trunk) complex phrase query parser ( SOLR-1604 ) it is possible to use : "Some va*" types of queries. But you need to use solr-trunk for this. Or you need to wait solr 4.8

I was looking for partial matches for some fields in solr. I know of the "*" wildcard which can be used for the same. Now I want to search in some field with value say "Some value". Now the problem is: When I do: field:val* it detects "Some value" as a match But when I do: field:"val*" it shows up nothing. What I want here is if I query for "Some va" I should get "Some value" in results.
