you should (as per the example) define the field as text in your solr-schema not in your RDB. something like: <field name="field_1" type="text" indexed="true" stored="true" required="true"/>
then search like: q=field_1:monitors the example schema illustrates a lot of the possibilities on how you to define fields and what is all means.
