Solr - Can't search when term ends with "y"

Question

This problem seems really ridiculous. I always get 0 results when searching for entries that end with "y". I know they exist.

0 Results:

x Results:

With any of the last three I get the desired results (Barthy B, Tony Banderas, Maxy Doe, ...)

Words that contain but don't end with "y" are totally fine (Rayman, ...)

What is happening? Could something like this be achieved with the schema (if yes, how? So that I can search for it)

Any other idea where to start looking?

can you check if your fieldType consists of solr.PorterStemFilterFactory...? porter is a transforming algorithm for English language that reduces any of the forms of a word such as walks, walked to walk... — Abhijit Bashetti, Apr 19 '16 at 09:30
@AbhijitBashetti thank you for saving me a lot of time. It was a SnowBallPorter-thingy. Post an answer, I'll accept it! — Barthy, Apr 19 '16 at 09:41

Remove the PorterStemFilterFactory or SnowballPorterFilterFactory from the fieldType.

As porter is a transforming algorithm for English language that reduces any of the forms of a word such as walks, walked to walk.

Alternatively you can also try putting the filter in both the field's index and query configuration, so you can have stemming. – spyk Apr 19 '16 at 11:12

In my config, it was SnowballPorterFilterFactory and not lowercase snowballporterfilterfactory
