Yes, you need to edit it. At least field names. Does your schema has a field named sku? > 2. Do we need make DisMax as a default request > handler? Do I need to add > attribute default="true" to the tag? If you are going to always use it, why not, change it by adding default="true". By doing so you need to add qt parameter in every request. But don't forget to delete other default="true". There can be only one default="true" :) > 3.

So you don't need to add &defType=dismax&qf=title^1.0 text^1.5 ... etc. to the query string. > We are basically moving on to dismax handler and trying to > understand what > changes we need to make to SolrConfig.xml. As you can see in default solrconfig.xml, you can register multiple instances of solr.SearchHandler with different default parameter list and name. default="true" one is executed by default. And this can be helpful deciding about dismax params: qf,pf,ps,ps,mm etc http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2010/05/23/whats-a-dismax/
