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.
