After searching this list, Google, and looking through the Pugh book, I am a little confused about the right way to structure a query.
The Packt book uses the example of the MusicBrainz DB full of song metadata. What if they also had the song lyrics in English and German as files on disk, and wanted to index them along with the metadata, so that each document would basically have song title, artist, publisher, date, ..., All_Metadata (copy field of all metadata fields), Text_English, and Text_German fields? There can only be one default field, correct? So if we want to search for all songs containing (zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)) do we repeat the entire query text for all three major fields in the 'q' clause (assuming we don't want to use the cache): q=(+All_Metadata:zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)+Text_English:zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)+Text_German:(zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)) or repeat the entire query text for all three major fields in the 'fq' clause (assuming we want to use the cache): q=*:*&fq=(+All_Metadata:zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)+Text_English:zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)+Text_German:zeppelin AND (dog OR merle)) ?
