I am researching an issue w/ wildcard searches on complete words in 3.5. For
example, searching for "kloster*" returns "klostermeyer", but "klostermeyer*"
returns nothing.
The field being queried has the following analysis chain (standard
'text_general'):
<fieldType name="text_general" class="solr.TextField"
positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"
words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" />
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true"
words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true" />
<filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt"
ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
</analyzer>
</fieldType>
I see that wildcard queries are not analyzed at query time, which could be the
source of my issue, but I read conflicting advice on the interwebs. I read
also that this might have changed in 3.6, but I am unable to determine if my
specific issue is addressed.
My questions:
1. Why am I getting these search results with my current config?
2. How do I fix it in 3.5? Would upgrading to 3.6 also "fix" my issue?
Thanks!
