Hi everybody,

We are experimenting with solr, and I have a (I think) basic-level question:
we have a multiple fields, all copied into a generic field so we can search 
everything at once.
However we have a (for us) strange situation doing wildcard searches for the 
contents of one specific field.

Given in the schema:

<field name="_text_" type="text_general" indexed="true" stored="false" 
multiValued="true"/>

<field name="genormaliseerdInventarisnummer" type="string" indexed="true" 
stored="true"/>
<copyField source="genormaliseerdInventarisnummer" dest="_text_" />
and lot of other fields exactly like 'genormaliseerdInventarisnummer'.


Now, we are certain that the field 'genormaliseerdInventarisnummer' contains 
entries like 'EO.1954.53.1', 'EO.1954.53.2', EO.1954.53.3', all the way up to 
'.19', we can query these directly by passing these exact texts to the query on 
field '_text_' (our default search field).
Problem is: wildcard searches for these don't work, like 'EO.1954.53.*' for 
example returns zero results.

Why is that?
What needs to be adjusted? (and how?)

Thanks already,
Roel
