Right - I'm talked about the disjunction query generated by dismax, which does contain ORs. To take your example above, say you have a dismax handler defined that searches both movie title and description. If the query includes "the" and you have mm=100% (so all terms are required) you will only get results whose title contains "the", regardless of the description's contents. Is that the intent? Because it seems wrong to me.
