Thankyou Ahmet. You were right. artist_s:Dora is bringing results. But I need artist_s:Dora the explorer to bring only those results which contain "Dora the explorer". I tried to give artist_s:"Dora the explorer" (phrase search).. that is working. But artist_s:Dora the explorer is not working. Any way to make this artist_s:Dora the explorer to return results that contain this in them. Thanks.

That also doesnt work. May be you have trailing white-spaces in your artists?

Note that q=artist_t:Dora The Explorer is parsed into artist_t:Dora defaultField:The defaultField:Explorer Can you do your tests with &q=artist_s:Dora?
