The question really is not about q.alt specifically, but about query
parsers. With the caveats we've already noted about dismax (doesn't
support wildcards), you can do something like this:
http://localhost:8983/solr/select?rows=0&debugQuery=true&defType=dismax&q.alt=
{!dismax%20qf=$qf}ipod&qf=name^5+features
The reason the embedded qf is needed is because the global params are
not visible to the local query parser specified, and an indirection is
needed because the desired qf has spaces in it.
