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) -Hoss
