Are you using the field name suffixes like Blacklight? xxx_text,
_xxx_facet, xxx_string? With the xxx_string field you can request
"begins with" search, but you may need some different search term
normalization than with a _text search.

We need to offer "begins with" type searches, e.g. a search for "surname, f" will retrieve "surname,
firstname", "surname, f", "surname fm" etc.
Ideally, the user would be able to enter something like "surname f*".
However, wildcards don't work on phrase searches, nor do range searches.
Any suggestions as to how best to search for "begins with" phrases; or, how to
best configure solr to support such searches?
TIA
