At a guess, you're looking in the default field for the letter "i", which has probably been removed at indexing time because it is a stopword. Unless you specify a field (e.g. q=field:value), the search goes against your default field (specified in schema).
Two very useful tools are : the solr admin page (blah/solr/admin) and Luke (google Lucene Luke) The first lets you browse your solr config and peek at your index, the second allows you to examine your index in detail. Also, adding &debugQuery=on will produce a plethora of output. What does this page tell you?: http://localhost:8983/solr/admin/analysis.jsp If all that doesn't help, we need to see your raw query, schema definition for the field you're searching and the output of &debugQuery=on.
