What do you want Solr to do in that case? Search all the defined fields? Some of them? Pick randomly?
This is like asking "can Solr do what I want without telling it what I want?". You can define df or qf _defaults_ in solrconfig.xml for the request handler, that's what those are for. Then the _user_ doesn't need to specify them. Somebody has to however and defaults are how those are usually done.
