What is the difference between String and Text type of Solr indexed property.

[rohit31_raj92]

The fields as default defined in the solr schema are vastly different.

String stores a word/sentence as an exact string without performing tokenization etc. Commonly useful for storing exact matches, e.g, for facetting.

Text typically performs tokenization, and secondary processing (such as lower-casing etc.). Useful for all scenarios when we want to match part of a sentence.
