Thanks for response, Let me explain with an example. I have following fields : name, description, id, title. These fields have following values: doc1 - name : test description : test and run id : t1 title : abc title
doc2 - name : abc description : test and run again id : t2 title : xyz title You can see name and description both contain "test", so my question is if I will query for "test" using "q" parameter without specifying the fields in either "df" or "qf", will it be able to search? Because I tried, and I think you have to mention the fields otherwise it will not work. If I will put "df" and "qf" value as "name", so it will return only doc1, but I want to return both documents when I query "test" (Because description also contains "test"). Will it be possible without configuring the "df" or "qf"? Is there any way to apply search on all fields?
