I'm not sure about your first question but your second question (searching across fields using a single keyword) I believe is exactly what dismax was created for, check out http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2010/05/23/whats-a-dismax/ for some information. In regards to spelling errors you could add a phonetic field which would be included in the weighted result, a quick google gave me this http://search.lucidimagination.com/search/document/CDRG_ch05_5.6.12. Synonyms are also pretty straight forward and are included in the sample that ships with Solr.
