Hey Anon15 It sounds like your encountering a heuristic known as stemming. Stemming takes various of words and reduces them to a base form. For example
jumped jumping jumper might all get reduced to "jump" So now when a user searches for "jump" they can retrieve all docs with the various forms of the word "jump". There's various algorithms that Solr/Lucene use for stemming. They all represent hueristics that work well for most cases. Some stemmers are very aggressive in how they reduce to a common form, others are less aggressive. You can read more about Solr/Lucene's stemmers here: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/LanguageAnalysis All of these are configured in your Solr schema in the corresponding field type's analysis chain. Do you know what field type is being used for this field you are searching? Would you be interested in sharing, and we could give you even more info?
