I just tried with Solr 1.4 trunk and it seems to work fine. "a" is a stopword... but I'm not sure how stopwords could be messing you up. For matching song titles, you may want to use a field type with no stopwords though (there are a lot of common words in song titles I think).
If you've changed your synonym file, it could be matching something in the query and changing it? Try the analysis page in the admin interface and see what comes out. -Yonik http://www.lucidimagination.com On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 10:04 AM, Daniel Löfquist <daniel.lofqu...@it.cdon.com> wrote: > Hello all, > > I have an odd problem.
