Terms truncation

Hi,

I'm using the terms component for an autosuggest feature and it works  
well but i've hit an issue with truncation:

Take the following query:

http://localhost:8983/solr/terms?terms.fl=meta_name_t&terms.prefix=switch

This is the response:

<response>

<lst name="responseHeader">
<int name="status">0</int>
<int name="QTime">1</int>
</lst>

<lst name="terms">

<lst name="meta_name_t">
<int name="switchov">35</int>
<int name="switch">7</int>
</lst>
</lst>
</response>

In this case the word 'switchov' is returned where i expected  
'switchover'. The word 'switchov' doesn't exist by itself

I'm puzzled with the truncation. The handles are all standard for 1.4.

Are other factors affecting the response? I couldn't see an  
appropriate option for the query to adjust the length of the returned  
string...

Thanks in advance,

Paul Forsyth

Thanks Grant,

I'm still a bit of a newbie with Solr :)

I was able to add a new non-stemming field along with a copyfield, and  
that seems to have done the trick :)

Until i tried this i didnt quite realise what copyfields did...

Thanks again,

Paul

I'm guessing you are asking for terms on a field that is stemmed.
