Here's what we use for this:
<fieldType name="caseInsensitiveString" class="solr.TextField"
indexed="true" stored="true" omitNorms="true" sortMissingLast="true"
positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer>
<tokenizer class="solr.KeywordTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
<field name="someField" type="caseInsensitiveString"
omitTermFreqAndPositions="true"/>
As far as I know, StringField does not use analyzers at all - they'll just be
ignored.
KeywordTokenizerFactory does the "exact phrase" bit, and LowerCaseFilterFactory
does the lowercasing.

Subject: Case insensitive StringField?
It appears that StringField instances are treated as literals, even though my
analyzer lower-cases (on both write and read sides). So, for example, I can
match with a term query (e.g. "NEW YORK"), but only if the case matches. If I
use a QueryParser (or MultiFieldQueryParser), it never works because these
query values are lowercased and don't match.
I've found that using a TextField instead works, presumably because it's
tokenized and processed correctly by the write analyzer. However, I would
prefer that queries match against the entire/exact phrase ("NEW YORK"), rather
than among the tokens ("NEW" or "YORK").
What's the solution here?
Thanks in advance.
