No, because the original data is <str name="name">Bobby Gaza</str>, so Bobby* would match, but not bobby*. "string" type (in the example schema, to be clear) does effectively no analysis, leaving the original string indexed as-is, case and all.

stemming and wildcard term queries aren't quite compatible, as you've found, but it does depend on how much of the prefix is provided. bob* matches "bobbi", for example.
ok well let's say that i can live without john/jon in the short term. what i really need today is a case insensitive wildcard search with literal matching (no fancy stemming. bobby is bobby, not bobbi.)
what are my options? -jsd-
