It's probably stemming. Something like "gardener" is probably stemmed to "garden", so a wildcard query that expects something longer than "garden" won't find anything. If you really need more accurate wildcard queries, do a copyField of this field into another that does not have stemming (perhaps just whitespace tokenizer and lowercase filter, and maybe stop filter). Then use this alternate field for wildcard queries. -Yonik
