Robert Muir commented on SOLR-219:
----------------------------------
a lot of analysis things like stemming are not prepared to deal with wildcard
characters in the term, and returning multiple tokens (because a tokenizer
splits on a * or whatever) makes no sense either
in my opinion, a good solution here is to allow you to specify in your schema:
this is the analysis chain for these multitermqueries, so it would be a
different chain rather than "query" or "index" (similar to SOLR-2477 where I
propose allowing you to specify one for "phrase"). The QP would use this chain
for things like wildcards, and throw an exception if the analyzer returns more
than one token from a wildcard term.
This way you can use KeywordTokenizer + lowercase/fold characters or whatever,
but in general doing things like WDF or synonyms makes no sense here. If you
want to do things like stemming, thats fine, you can shoot yourself in the foot
this way and we won't stop you.
But in no case should we try to magically apply the analysis chain... too
ambiguous what would happen.
