I totally agree that it's worth understanding how things are treated under the hood. That's the kind of literature I'm looking for I guess. Given that article, I wasn't sure what the query would look like if I need to query against multiple fields. Let's say I have a "name" field and a "brand" field and I want to find the Apple iPod. Using only the 'q' param the query would look like select?q=brand:Apple AND name:iPod Is there a better query format that utilizes the fq field? Thanks again -- Martin
