Wildcard on last char

[Patric Wilms <pw...@kemcom.org>]

Hello,

i have encountered a problem concerning the wildcard. When i search for 
field:testword  i get 50 results. That's ok but when I search for 
field:testwor* i get just 3 hits! I get only words returned without a 
whitespace after the char like "testwordtest" but i wont find any single 
"testword" i've searched before. Why can't I replace a single char at 
the end of a word with the wildcard?

Thanks a million,

Patric

What does the fieldtime for "field" look like in your schema?  what 
exactly is the URL you are using to query solr?

i notice in particular you say "I get only words returned without a
: whitespace after the char" ... which suggests that you expect it to 
match documents that have whitespace in the field value (ie: "testword 
more words" ... but if you are using an analyzer that splits on 
whitespace, those are now seperate terms -- wildcard and prefix searches 
match on indexed terms -- not the entire field value (if you want that, 
you need to use something like StrField or the KeywordTokenizer .. but i 
doubt that's really what you want)
