You really need to spend some time becoming familiar with 1> the results of putting &debugQuery=on in your queries in order to see how your query terms are spread across various fields. 2> the admin/analysis page to understand field tokenization.
>From your message, it looks like you're confusing several issues, analysis and query parsing in particular. For instance, your "id" field is probably a string. Which is completely unanalyzed. Your data field may well have something called WordDelimiterFilterFactory in it, which splits numbers and letters into two tokens that are treated independently. Do you know if this is occurring? If you look at the debug output, you'll start to get a feel for this. Second. Edismax happily allows field qualification, so you can enter something like q=data:level2 if that is what you want.
