I think there is value in this type of feature... A search-box is a very common thing, and providing a way for the front-end to easily query solr without worrying about the format of the query (escaping special chars, making sure it's well formed, etc) is something that it seems like the standard request handler could also benefit from. Maybe a "uq" parameter? (for user query, or unstructured query) -Yonik
