Hi Hoss, I am sorry but I did not understand this part: The reason name:AR* doesn't work (but name:ARIZONA does) is because when you are doing prefix or wildcard searches that "query analysis" can't be used ... for a lot of reasons that are covered in the mailing list archives, and is mentioned in the Lucene Java FAQ...
I understand that by default Solr turns off lowercasing of wildcard searches. That is fine by me. But I'm still at the first question: How do I conduct a wildcard search for ARIZONA on a solr.textField? I tried taking out LowerCaseFilterFactory. That does not really work. It works just fine for Solr.string, not sure why. Does no one use the powerful lucene queries(which includes prefix and wildcard search) from Solr? It has got to be simple :). Thank you for your help.
