Thanks for the reply!

I do believe I have set (or have tried setting) all of those options for the 
default query and none of them seem to help. Anytime an OR appears inside the 
query the default for that query becomes OR. At least thats the anecdotal 
evidence I've encountered.
Also in this case the results do match what the parser is telling me, so I'm 
not getting the results I expect.

As for the second suggestion, the actual fields searched are controlled by the 
user, so it can get more complicated. But even in the single field search I do 
believe I need to use the edismax parser. I have tried the regular query syntax 
for searching one field and find that it can't handle the more complex queries.

Something like 
ref_expertise:(nonlinear OR soliton) AND "optical lattice"

won't return any documents even though there are many that satisfy those 
requirements. Is there some other way I could be executing this query even in 
the single field case?

Thanks and Thanks in Advance for all help

Steve
