How odd, though I'm afraid this is reaching the limit of my knowledge at this point (and I still can't find where that box is within the Admin UI!).
The only thing I'd say is to check that "logtext" is a defined named field within your schema, and to double check how it's field type is defined. Also, try without the "<str name="queryAnalyzerFieldType">text_en</str>" definition (I believe this should be implicit as the filed type of "logtext" above).

Interesting! The index builds successfully using this method and I get no stacktrace error. Hurray! But why?? So now, I tried running a query, so I typed Fenbers into the spellcheck.q box, and I get the following 9 suggestions: fenber f en be r f e nb er f en b er f e n be r f en b e r f e nb e r f e n b er f e n b e r I find this very odd because I commented out all references to the wordbreak checker in solrconfig.xml. What do I configure so that Solr will give me sensible suggestions like: fenders embers fenberry and so on?
