The uf parameter controls which fields are allowed in the query string. If you have "uf=f1 f2" then "q=f3:foo" won't work the way you would expect. If f3 is in the qf parameter, then it will still be used by the parser. I tried the equivalent of q=f3:foo on my own index with uf set to fields that did not include that field. When a field is disallowed, but used in the query, there is no error message. Instead, the data is interpreted as raw input, so that example would work like "q=f3\:foo" instead. The colon becomes part of the actual query text. Testing shows that uf does *NOT* affect filter queries, only the main query. I think this is because filter queries default to the lucene parser, not the parser specified in defType. Thanks, Shawn
