The real problem was this tag <!-- field for the QueryParser to use when an explicit fieldname is absent --> <defaultSearchField>text</defaultSearchField>
and I was quering like this q=r-1* instead of q=mat_nr:r-1* so whatever fieldType I use for mat_nr, it was using "text" fieldType which had WordDelimiterFilterFactory, hence I had to put space inorder to get it running. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Alphanumeric-wildcard-search-problem-tp1393332p1437584.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
