okayndc, A field configured to use HTMLStripCharFilter as part of its index-time analyzer will strip out HTML tags before index terms are created by the tokenizer, so HTML tags will not be put into the index. As a result, queries for HTML tags cannot match the original documents' HTML tags (in the field configured to use HTMLStripCharFilter, anyway).
So HTMLStripCharFilter should do what you want.

The problem that I have is when I test search for a an HTML tag (ex. <strong>), Lucene returns the highlighted HTML tag ~ which is what I DO NOT want. Is there a way to "filter" HTML tags? I have read up on HTMLStripChar filter (packaged with Solr) and wondered if this is the way to go?
