Oh and to clarify what I expect to see.
I expect to see the term in a multiword query to be put together with
OR's (Unless I've set the default to be AND's in the solrconfig.xml)
I'm guessing that what I'm going to need to do here is place all of my
queries in parentheses for the fields that I expect I'm going to have
multiple word queries. This isn't what I was expecting having come from
Lucene before this.
So instead of my query looking like this in the Solr admin
abstract: mouse genome informatics
I really need it looking like:
abstract: (mouse genome informatics) so that the query parser
understands that these are multiple terms for a single field.
Or am I misunderstanding here?

I'm getting the result set that matches what it would be if I just
searched for the first word in the query.
So I'm getting the results for mouse.
And yes, abstract: is the name of the field.
So a search for
abstract: mouse
would yield 69103 results
abstract: mouse anythingelseIputhere
yields 69103 results, even if the second token doesn't exist anywhere
in the indexes.
abstract: mouse verycommonterm
yields 69103 results, even if the second token would normally result
in say 150000 matches when searched on its own.
I think what you are describing as being possible is what is
happening, the query parser is taking what's being passed to it
abstract: foo bar
and really converting it into
abstract: foo OR default:bar

Multi word queries is the bread and butter of Solr/Lucene, so I'm not
sure I
understand the complete issue here. For clarity, is 'abstract' the
name of
your default text field, or is your query
q=abstract: mouse genome
if the latter, my thought was is it possible that the query is being
converted into a query of
q=abstract:mouse genome where mouse is looked for in the field
abstract,
and genome is compared to the default text field. This is a stab in the
dark, I don't know what your data looks like.
You say it doesn't work the way you expect, but you don't really say
what
you do see. Are you getting zero results, or fewer than you expected, or
only results that match all fields (the AND proposition)?
