: > itemNameSearch:fifa defaultSearchField:12

: That's exactly what's happening! Why does this happen?

whyspace is meaningful to the query parser: it tells the query parser 
there are multiple clauses for a boolean query.

if you want to search for any works the user typed in the field 
"itemNameSearch" then you can either set the default search field to 
itemNameSearch...
        df=itemNameSearch & q=fifa 12
...or put parens arround the words you want to search for in a specific 
field...
        q=itemNameSearch:(fifa 12)
