As you said you cannot apply. But you can mimic it with KeywordTokenizer +
TrimFilter + LowercaseFilter combination.

Exactly. However you need to add individual terms also :
&q=summary:("my item"^5 my item)
Can you test this query? I think this is what you are looking for.
Just for your information: About multi-valued fields there is a
positionIncrementGap value that puts space between multiple fields of this type
on the same document, with the purpose of preventing false phrase matching
across fields.
