Solr - WhiteSpaceTokenizerFactory works for index but not while querying

Question

Consider the following schema,

<schema>

<types>
    <fieldType name="string" class="solr.StrField" sortMissingLast="true" omitNorms="true" multiValued="false"/>
    <fieldType name="stop_analyzer_string" class="solr.TextField" multiValued="false">
       <analyzer type="index">
          <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
          <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
          <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" words="stopwords.txt" ignoreCase="true"/>
          <filter class="solr.EdgeNGramFilterFactory" minGramSize="3" maxGramSize="50" side="front"/>
      </analyzer>
     <analyzer type="query">
       <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
       <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
       <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" words="stopwords.txt" ignoreCase="true"/>
    </analyzer>
   </fieldType>
</types>

<fields>
   <field name="name_search" type="stop_analyzer_string" indexed="true" stored="false"/>
   <copyField source="name" dest="name_search"/>
   <field name="name" type="string" indexed="true" stored="true"/>
</fields>

</schema>

The name field gets indexed with WhitespaceTokenizerFactory, but it doesn't seem to use the WhitespaceTokenizerFactory while querying with the name field.

For a doc with name as "solr search",
the query name_search:solr - matches the document. //index time WhiteSpace tokenizer works
the query name_search:search - matches the document. //index time WhiteSpace tokenizer works
But the query name_search:solr search - doesn't match the document. //query time WhiteSpace tokenizer doesn't work

But as specified in the schema, the query should also be tokenized with whitespace and matched with the document. no?

Not sure what you are missing, but all the above queries worked for me for the data that you mentioned.

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=name_search%3Asolr+search&wt=xml&indent=true

The above returned result document i indexed.

Just to test do this:

http://localhost:8983/solr/#/collection1/documents

Got to : And paste below document as is into your Document(s) part and hit Submit Document

{"id":"100001","name_search":"solr search"}

Run you query as:

http://localhost:8983/solr/collection1/select?q=name_search%3Asolr+search&wt=json&indent=true
