Hi, Catch-all field: No need to worry about how to aggregate scores coming from different fields. But you cannot utilize different analysers for different fields.
Multiple-fields: You can play with edismax's parameters on-the-fly, without having to re-index. It is flexible that you can include/exclude fields from search.

It seems to me that one good reason for using a catchall field is when using scoring with idf (with idf, a word might not have same score in all fields). We got rid of idf and are now considering using multiple fields. I remember reading somewhere that using a catchall field might speed up searching time. I was wondering if some of you have any opinion (or experience) related to this subject. Best regards, Elisabeth
