Well, one issue is that Paddle* Arm* has an implicit OR between the terms. Try
+Paddle* +Arm* That'll reduce the documents found, although it would find "Paddle robotic armature" (no such thing, just sayin'). Although another possibility is that you're really sending some_field:Paddle* Arm* which is parsed as some_field:Paddle* default_search_field:Arm* “Paddle Arm” should find the last two. I suspect you're using "string" type for the field you're searching against rather than a text-based field that tokenizes. You must show us the fieldType of the field and the results of &debug=query added to the URL to have a hope of saying anything more. And if you really need phrases and wildcards, see Complex Phrase Query Parser here: https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/6_6/other-parsers.html. But before going there, I'd figure out wha't up with not being able to search "Paddle Arm" as a phrase, it should certainly do what you're asking given the right field definition.
