Hi Bastien,

Have you tried upgrading to 6.1?  SOLR-8812, mentioned earlier in the thread, 
was released with 6.1, and is directly aimed at fixing the problem you are 
having in 6.0 (also a problem in 5.5): when mm is not explicitly provided and 
the query contains explicit operators (except for AND), edismax now sets mm=0.
