There is no tokenization on 'string' fields, so a query for "5" does not match a doc with a value of "5|6" for this field. You could try using field type 'text' for this and see what you get. You may need to customize it to you the StandardAnalyzer or WordDelimiterFilterFactory to get the right behavior. Using the analysis tool in the solr admin UI to experiment will probably be helpful. -Ken
