The whole idea behind Solr is to solve the problem that you just explain, in
particular what you need is to define the title field as a solr.TextField and
then define a tokenizer. The tokenizer essentially will transform the initial
text into tokens. Solr has several tokenizers, each which its special
characteristics, nevertheless one of the must commons is the StandardTokenizer,
but again your choice will be influenced by how do you want to “divide” your
initial text into “parts” or tokens. Basically when you fire a query against
Solr (put it in simple words) will match the tokens of your query to the tokens
stored in each of your documents, and the will output a list of matching
documents.
One simple example of a fieldType you could use is:
<fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" sortMissingLast="true">
<analyzer>
<tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
In this case the tokenizer will split the initial text into the tokens, and
then each token will be lowercased so when you query you wouldn’t have to worry
about the capitalization of the terms.
Hope it helps
