All I can say is that I just tried it with the following definitions and it works as expected. That is: http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=eoe:R-1*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on
<http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=eoe:R-1*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on>returns nothing (casing issue) and http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=eoe:r-1*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on<http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=eoe:R-1*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on> <http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?q=eoe:R-1*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on>returned 3 documents <fieldType name="textShoaib" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> just playing <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" /> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.RemoveDuplicatesTokenFilterFactory"/> </analyzer> </fieldType> and <field name="eoe" type="textShoaib" indexed="true" /> where the relevant documents had the following: <field name="eoe">R-1 and some stuff</field> <field name="eoe">r-1 really now</field> <field name="eoe">R-1</field> searching for r* and r-* also returned three documents. Note that using StandardAnalyzer and WhitespaceAnalyzer didn't make any difference. browsing the schema from the admin page shows the tokena r-1 really some stuff now Are you totally and absolutely sure that you're using the schema you think you are? And you restarted SOLR after you made schema changes? And you re-indexed your data? I also tried it with the dismax query, and it works there too: http://localhost:8983/solr/select/?qt=standard2&q=r-1*&version=2.2&start=0&rows=10&indent=on&debugQuery=true returns 3 results, where standard2 is defined like this: <requestHandler name="standard2" class="solr.SearchHandler"> <!-- default values for query parameters --> <lst name="defaults"> <str name="defType">dismax</str> <str name="echoParams">explicit</str> <str name="tie">0.6</str> <str name="qf">eoe^2.3 mat_nr^0.4</str> <str name="mm">0%</str> <!-- <int name="rows">10</int> <str name="fl">*</str> <str name="version">2.1</str> --> </lst> So in sum, I suspect that you've made some innocous-seeming change somewhere that you've forgotten about (easy to do when you're trying a zillion things and frustrated). So, here's what I'd recommend: back up and forget dismax for a while, just get it all working with the normal query parser and gradually add things back in until you either fail succeed all the way back to dismax. BTW, you probably want to specify dismax with the qf parameter, pf stands for "phrase fields" where qf stands for "query fields". pf worked for me, but I doubt that's what you're really after. This is all on SOLR 1.4.1 BTW.
