Jon,
You provided a lot of nice details, thanks for helping us help you :)
The one missing piece is the definition of the "text" field type. In
Solr's _example_ schema, "bobby" gets analyzed (stemmed) to
"bobbi"[1]. When you query for bobby*, the query parser is not running
an analyzer on the wildcard query, thus literally searching for terms
that begin with "bobby"[2].
As for "steve" , same story, but it analyzes to "steve", which is found
with a "steve*" query.
so, what's the solution? if i change the field to string, will it be
able to find bobby* ? eventually it would be nice to be able to use
fuzzy matching, to find 'jon' from 'john', for example.
thanks
