Solr Index appears to be valid - but returns no results
Solr newbie here.
I have created a Solr index and write a whole bunch of docs into it. I can see from the Solr admin page that the docs exist and the schema is fine as well. But when I perform a search using a test keyword I do not get any results back.
On entering * : *
into the query (in Solr admin page) I get all the results.
However, when I enter any other query (e.g. a term or phrase) I get no results. I have verified that the field being queried is Indexed and contains the values I am searching for.
So I am confused what I am doing wrong.
Answer
Probably you don't have a <defaultSearchField> correctly set up. See this question.
Another possibility: your field is of type string instead of text. String fields, in contrast to text fields, are not analyzed, but stored and indexed verbatim.
