Hi Erick,
thanks for the links, I read both of them and I still have no idea
what to do, lots of back and forth, but didn't see any solution on it.
One person talked about indexing the field in reverse and doing and ON
on it, this might work I guess.
thanks
Joel

copying from Eric Hatcher:
See http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-218 - Solr currently
does not have leading wildcard support enabled.
There's a pretty extensive recent exchange on this, see the
thread on the user's list titled
"leading and trailing wildcard query"Best

Hi, I saw some older postings on this, but didnt see a resolution.
I have a field called title, I would like to be able to find
partial word
matches within the title.
For example:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?q=textTitle:%22*sulli*%22
I would expect it to find:
<str name="textTitle">the daily dish | by andrew sullivan</str>
but it doesnt, it does find sully (which is fine with me also as a
bonus),
but doesnt seem to get any of the partial word stuff. Oddly enough
before I
lowercased the title, the wildcard matching seemed to work a bit
better, it
just didnt deal with the case sensitive query.
At first I had mixed case titles and I read that the wildcard
doesn't work
with mixed case, so I created another field that is a lowered
version of the
title called "textTitle", it is of type text.
Is it possible with solr to achieve what I am trying to do, if so
how? If
not, anything closer than what I have?
thanks
Joel
