Returning documents using multi-valued field

I'm quite new to Solr and I'm supporting an existing Solr search engine which was written by someone else. I've been reading on Solr for the last couple of weeks so I'd consider myself beyond the basics.

A particular field, let's say name, is multi-valued. For example, a document has a field "name" with values "Alice, Trudy". We want that the document is r开发者_如何学编程eturned when "Alice" or "Trudy" is input and not when "Alice Trudy" is entered. Currently the document is even with "Alice Trudy". How could this be done?

Thanks a lot!

If the field value is "Alice, Trudy", normally solr/lucene should match for "alice" or "trudy". If not, there could be special "Text Analysis" or stemming options active for this field.

Take a look at the part "text analysis" at the solr documentation: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/tutorial.html#Text+Analysis and: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/AnalyzersTokenizersTokenFilters
