I have implemented a full search and the matcher that fits better my  
approach is match\_phrase\_prefix.

elements:  
title: 'search test'  
title: 'search test 1'  
title: 'search test 12'  
title: 'search test 2'  
title: 'search test b'  
title: 'new search test'

The weird case is when I search with the term 'search test 1' and the  
results are:  
title: 'search test'  
title: 'search test 1'  
title: 'search test 12'  
title: 'search test 2'  
title: 'new search test'

it only should match the title: 'search test 1' and title: 'search test  
12', but I don't know why is matching the other elements.

If I try with the with other terms like 'search test 2' or title: 'search  
test1' returns what is expected. I'm using the standard analyzer but I have  
also tried with the whitespace analyzer.

Any hint here?  
Thanks a lot,  
Carlos
