Many many thanks for the replies - it was helpful for me to start understanding how this works.
I'm using 3.5 so this goes to explain a lot. What I have done is if the query contains a * I make the query lowercase before sending to solr. This seems to have solved this issue given your explanation above. Many thanks Something that is still not clear in my mind is how this tokenising works. For example with the filters I have when I run the analyser I get: Field: Hello You Hello|You Hello|You Hello|You hello|you hello|you Does this mean that the index is stored as 'hello|you' (the final one) and that when I run a query and it goes through the filters whatever the end result of that is must match the 'hello|you' in order to return a result? -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Wildcard-search-makes-no-sense-tp4162069p4162284.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
