Hi, I saw some older postings on this, but didnt see a resolution.

I have a field called title, I would like to be able to find partial word matches within the title.

For example:

http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=textTitle:%22*sulli*%22

I would expect it to find:
<str name="textTitle">the daily dish | by andrew sullivan</str>

but it doesnt, it does find sully (which is fine with me also as a bonus), but doesnt seem to get any of the partial word stuff. Oddly enough before I lowercased the title, the wildcard matching seemed to work a bit better, it just didnt deal with the case sensitive query.

At first I had mixed case titles and I read that the wildcard doesn't work with mixed case, so I created another field that is a lowered version of the title called "textTitle", it is of type text.

Is it possible with solr to achieve what I am trying to do, if so how? If not, anything closer than what I have?

thanks
Joel
