In addition to the other replies, do be careful about "string" types. It's probably not what you want as it indexes the entire input as a single token. For instance, indexing "great expectations" as a string type would NOT get you a hit when searching for "great". Think about a text type instead...
And you can certainly construct queries like q=title:great AND description:great Or the dismax would work for you as others suggested. See defaultOperator in schema.xml, it is applied automatically unless you override.
