I'm confused by some behavior I'm seeing in Solr (i'm using 1.2.0). I have a field named "description", declared with the following fieldType:
<fieldType name="textTightUnstemmed" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100" > <analyzer> <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="false"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="0" generateNumberParts="0" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> The problem I'm having is that when I search for description:deck*, I get the results I expect; when I search for description:Deck*, I get nothing. I want both queries to return the same result set. (I'm using the standard request handler.) Interestingly, when I search for description:Deck from the web interface, the debug output shows that the query term is converted to lowercase: <str name="rawquerystring">description:Deck</str> <str name="querystring">description:Deck</str> <str name="parsedquery">description:deck</str> <str name="parsedquery_toString">description:deck</str> ... but when I search for description:Deck*, it shows that it is not: <str name="rawquerystring">description:Deck*</str> <str name="querystring">description:Deck*</str> <str name="parsedquery">description:Deck*</str> <str name="parsedquery_toString">description:Deck*</str> What am I doing wrong here? Also, when I use the Field Analysis tool for description:Deck*, it shows the following (sorry for the bad copy/paste): Query Analyzer org.apache.solr.analysis.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory {} term position 1 term text Deck* term type word source start,end 0,5 org.apache.solr.analysis.SynonymFilterFactory {synonyms=synonyms.txt, expand=false, ignoreCase=true} term position 1 term text Deck* term type word source start,end 0,5 org.apache.solr.analysis.StopFilterFactory {words=stopwords.txt, ignoreCase=true} term position 1 term text Deck* term type word source start,end 0,5 org.apache.solr.analysis.WordDelimiterFilterFactory {generateNumberParts=0, catenateWords=1, generateWordParts=0, catenateAll=0, catenateNumbers=1} term position 1 term text Deck term type word source start,end 0,4 org.apache.solr.analysis.LowerCaseFilterFactory {} term position 1 term text deck term type word source start,end 0,4 org.apache.solr.analysis.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory {} term position 1 term text deck term type word source start,end 0,4 Thanks, Charlie
