Really, really, get in the habit of looking at your query with &debugQuery=on appended, it'll save you a world of pain <G>..
customer_name:John Do* doesn't do what you think. It parses into customer_name:John OR default_search_field:Do* you want something like customer_name:(+John +Do*) or +customer_name:John +customer_name:Do* You want to look particularly at the parsedquery part of the return, the scoring stuff is useful for understanding scoring... And, watch out for your default operator. In the absence of you setting it in your schema.xml file, it is OR, and a result (with &debugQuery=on) of customer_name:John customer_name:Do* translates as though it is a SHOULD clause...
