When I perform a query on a field using a single character, I get

field for the character 'a', i.e. (description:a), I get no results
back. I would like to get all documents where the letter 'a'
appears in the description field.
I haven't played around with any of the settings in my schema.xml,
so I am wondering if someone could point out how I could configure
Solr such that it will return me all documents with an 'a' (or any
arbitrary character) in the description field. If this could be
expanded to match any sub-word (i.e. match "the" in "weather") that
would be great as well.
Any single character, or just 'a'? IR systems often strip out stop
words (extremely common) words for efficiency reasons. This is
configured via the "StopFilterFactory" in schema.xml: just remove it
from the field you are interested in and reindex.
