Niclas,
I looked at your initial post, you are creating document with field "abc*"
- nothing related to "wildcard query"!
Of course, query [useragents:abcdefghijklm] will return no results, and
[q=useragents:abc] no results, but [q=useragents:abc*] will return something.
text_nav is specific SOLR type for _leading_ wildcard queries; you don't need
it (you don't need _leading_ wildcard queries).
On indexing time, instead of
<doc>
<useragents>
Firefox*
Mozilla/4.0*
</useragents>
</doc>
You should index
<doc>
<useragents>
Mozilla/4.0+SonyEricssonC905v/R1DE+Browser/NetFront/3.4+Profile/MIDP-2.1+Configuration/CLDC-1.1+JavaPlatform/JP8.4.1+UP.Link/6.3.1.20.0
</useragents>
</doc>
And also, you need to choose properly SOLR type; for instance, textTight or
textgen, or even non-tokenized string!
And, query [q=useragents:moz*] will return this document (even if this field is
nontokenized).
-Fuad
P.S. Don't use * when you create Lucene document; use it as part of query.
