So it might be a neat solution. If I am reading this right: 1. would make the index larger 2. means you are searching all fields (or a weighted list) but cannot also search specific fields at the same time 3. would make your query string longer but give you the most control without bloating your index size
do you think I have the idea or am I missing something?
