with type="string" &q=artist_s:Dora should return only
<doc>
<field name="artist_s">Dora</field>
</doc>

May be you have trailing white-spaces in your artists? Can you try with adding
TrimFilterFactory after KeywordTokenizerFactory?

Note that q=artist_t:Dora The Explorer is parsed into artist_t:Dora
defaultField:The defaultField:Explorer
Can you do your tests with &q=artist_s:Dora?
