having trouble searching on EdgeNGramFilterFactory field with a length < minGramSize

[geeky2 <ge...@hotmail.com>]

hello,

i am trying to debug the following query in the analyzer:

*+itemModelNoExactMatchStr:JVM1640CJ01 +plsBrandId:0432 +plsBrandDesc:ge*

the query is going against a field (plsBrandDesc) that is being indexed with 
solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory and a  minGramSize of 3.  i have included the
complete field definition below.

after doing some experimenting in the analyzer, i believe the query may be
failing because the queried value of "ge" is only two (2) characters long -
and the minimum gram size is three (3) characters.

for example - this query does work in the analyzer.  it has a plsBrandDesc >
three characters and does return exactly one document:

+itemModelNoExactMatchStr:404 +plsBrandId:0431 *+plsBrandDesc:general*


i have tried overriding this behavior by using mm=2, but this does not seem
to work:

+itemModelNoExactMatchStr:JVM1640CJ01 +plsBrandId:0432 +plsBrandDesc:ge mm=2

am i misunderstanding how mm works - or am i getting the syntax for mm
incorrect?

thx
mark
