search multiple default fields

2010-07-05 Thread bluestar
hi there,

is it possible to define multiple default search fields in the
solrconfig.xml?

at the moment i am using a queryfilter programatically but i want to be
able to configure things such that my query will be processed as:

defaultfield:myquery OR field2:myquery OR field3:myquery ... ..

basically i want my query to match any of my named fields, but not always
matching the defaultfield...

at the moment i have one default field + a queryfilter which is not
returning the desired results.

thanks

i could be wrong but it seems this way has a performance hit?

or i am missing something?
