Chris,

I updated one of my tests to reproduce your issue. My text field is a 
multi-field where *text.na* is the text field without any analysis at all.

This Lucene query does not find anything at all:

{
  "bool" : {
    "must" : {
      "query_string" : {
        "query" : "*text.na:Immortal-Li**"
      }
    }
  }
}

But this one works fine:

{
  "bool" : {
    "must" : {
      "prefix" : {
        "text.na" : {
          "*prefix*" : "*Immortal-Li*"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

And returns the two documents that I expected:

{ "_index" : "mortal" , "_type" : "elf" , "_id" : "1" , "_version" : 1 , 
"_score" : 1.0 , "_source" :
   { "cn" : "Celeborn" , "text" : "Immortal-Lives forever" } }

{ "_index" : "mortal" , "_type" : "elf" , "_id" : "2" , "_version" : 1 , 
"_score" : 1.0 , "_source" :
   { "cn" : "Galadriel" , "text" : "Immortal-Lives forever" } }

Note that in both cases, the query's case must match since the field value 
is not analyzed at all.

I'm not sure if this is a true bug. In general, I find Lucene syntax 
somewhat useful for ad-hoc queries, and I find their so-called Simple Query 
Parser syntax to be completely unable to find anything when there is no 
_all field, whether or not I specify a default field. (But that's another 
issue I'm going to ask about in the near future.)
