Hi,

A couple of ideas to find out:
- Use the Solr admin panel to see how your query analysis chain handles both queries, and how RESTAURANTE is analyzed before indexing. Maybe the asterisk is preventing some analysis, thus making the query match fewer results?
- Use www.Splainer.io to see where matches happen and why

Cheers

Hi all,

I get unexpected results while performing a full text search with Solr 7.5: I get more results when I perform a full text search without an asterisk than when I search with an asterisk.
When the query is RESTAURANTE, I get 61 results


When the query is RESTAURANTE*, I get only 9 results


The only difference between the searches is the added asterisk.

Anyone has an idea for why this may happen? why a search with an asterisk yields less results than a search without the asterisk?

Thanks,
Netta Steinberg
