In case it helps, here's what I have currently, but I've been messing with
different options:
<filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory"
generateWordParts="0"
generateNumberParts="0"
catenateWords="1"
catenateNumbers="1"
catenateAll="1"
splitOnNumerics="0"
preserveOriginal="1"/>

Hi Ken,
I am using the WordDelimiterFilterFactory. I thought I needed it because I
thought that's what gave me the control over the options of how the words are
split and indexed? I did try taking it out completely, but that didn't seem to
help.
I'll try the analysis tool today. There has got to be a simple solution for
this, but it is sure eluding me.
Thanks,
Adrian

Are you using WordDelimiterFilterFactory? That would explain this behavior.
If so, do you need it - for the queries you describe you don't need that kind
of tokenization.
Also, have you played with the analysis tool on the admin page, it is a great
help in debugging things like this.
