Apache solr search words, but the search pages yield no results
The issue was that I had added the line as suggested here:
http://www.druplitec.de/partial-substring-search-using-solr-server-and-searchapi-module

I took out the line and now it works.  I guess I have to find another way to get "fuzzy search" for the solr server to work...

I had added the line to the wrong place.  I re-read through the apache solr docs and found the correct places for it to go.
