I am getting some very weird search results with fts_solr.

1. when I do a search for "testin" I get 0 results.
2. when I do a search for "testing" i get 44 results.

The problem is that I am expecting only 1 result.

Solr uses "stemming" for indexing/searching words. After that it searches those stemmed words, it doesn't do prefix searching by default. So:

1. You don't have any mails with a word "testin" in it.

2. "testing" probably gets stemmed to "test", and you get a combined result of "test", "testing", "tests" and maybe some other words.
