I think I understand what happened.....
The query "+specific_LIST_s:For Sale" is processed and broken into "For" and
"Sale". The specific_LIST_s field is a "string", so it is not tokenized, but
remains indexed as "For Sale", which matches neither "For" nor "Sale". Hence,
no results.
This query solves the problem:
+specific_LIST_s:"For Sale"
Cheers,
Adam :-)

Your problem looks *very* much like what I just went through.
Not sure, but...
You are searching specific_LIST_s for "For". The "Sale" part is being searched
for in your defaultSearchField. Putting "'s around the For Sale won't help
either.
You need to query something like:
specific_LIST_s:For OR specific_LIST_s:Sale
At least, that's what I ended up doing. In my case, I could have changed the
defaultSearchField to what I wanted to search on in this situation - but I
chose to
explicitly set the query string. YMMV.
