the analyzer is the same aside from WordDelimiterFilterFactory moving over

obviously.
Did you completely reindex after changing your schema? Not doing this,
especially if attempting to use the index from the earlier version, can
lead to problems. Have you checked what happens if you use the
non-graph version of WDF (and completely reindex), so you can see
whether that changes anything? That filter will disappear in 8.0, but
it's still there for all of 7.x.
Adding "debug=query" to your URL parameters is very useful in locating
differences. Maybe 6.1 and 7.4 are parsing the query differently.
There's a good chance that this will reveal something we can pursue.
i've used the analysis tool in solr admin to try to determine the
difference between the two. i'm seeing the same output between index and
query results yet when actually running the queries have that huge
divergence of results.
One of the big differences between 6.x and 7.x for query parsing is that
the sow (split on whitespace) parameter defaults to true in 6.x (and I
think it didn't even exist in 6.1, so it's effectively true). In 7.x,
that parameter defaults to false. So the query parser in 7.x tends to
behave *exactly* like what you see in the analysis tool, whereas in 6.x
the input would be split on whitespace before ever reaching analysis,
which can result in very subtle differences in how the input is
analyzed. Adding "sow=true" to your URL parameters is something you can
try as a quick test.
Thanks,
