My guess is that the query parser is throwing out 'i*' because it's 2
characters--shhorter than your minimum_word_length setting:

No. The documentation does need to be clearer on this--if you drop exact,
then the word itself will not necessarily be added to the query. So you
always want this in the search_algorithm setting.
