There are a couple of anomalies here. 1> kate AND winslet What does the query look like if you add &debug=true to the statement and look at the "parsed_query" section of the return? My guess is you typed "q=name:kate AND winslet" which parses as "q=name:kate AND default_search_field:winslet" and are getting matches you don't expect. You need something like "q=name:(kate AND winslet)" or "q=name:kate AND name:winslet". Note that if you're using eDIsmax it's more complicated, but that should still honor the intent.
2> I have no idea why searching for "Kate Winslet" in quotes returns anything, I wouldn't expect it to unless you mean you type in "q=kate winslet" which is searching against your default field, not the name field.
