Thanks for reply. I want to make your point more exact, cause I'm not sure that I correctly understood you :)
As far as I know (correct me please, if I wrong) type defines the way in which the field is indexed and queried. But I don't want to index or query "suggestion" field in different way, I want "suggestion" field store different value (like in example I wrote in first mail). So you are saying that I can tell to slor (using filedType) how solr should process string before saving it? Yes? FT> The filters and tokenizer that are applied to the copy field are FT> determined by it's type in the schema. Simply create a new field type in FT> your schema with the filters you would like, and use that type for your FT> copy field. So, the field description would have it's old type, but the FT> field suggestion would get a new type.
