Answer 1

This is because you changed field_type from string to text_general and didn't do a clean index. So indexer doesn't have necessary position data. First empty your core using

/your_core_name/update?stream.body=<delete><query>*:*</query></delete>&commit=true

then index this core.

Attention: the update code above will delete all your data in core and this cannot be undone!
