Jack, Thanks for replying and the suggestion. I replied to another suggestion with my field type and I do have <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" />. There's nothing in the stopwords.txt. I even cleaned out stopwords_en.txt just to be certain. Any other suggestions on how to control this behavior?

What you're looking at is the stopword.txt. You could either empty that file out or change the field type for your field.
