I've managed to solve this (in a quite hacky sort of way) by using filter queries and the edismax queryparser.
I added in my solrconfig.xml the following parameters: <str name="defType">edismax</str> <str name="mm">75%</str> Then when searching for multiple keywords (for example: schwarzkleid wenz, where wenz is a german brand name), I use the first keyword as a query and anything after that I add as a filterquery. So my final query looks something like this: fl=id&sort=popular+desc&indent=on&q=keywords:'schwarzkleide'+&wt=json&fq={!edismax}+keywords:'wenz'&fq=deleted:0 My compound splitter filter splits schwarzkleide correctly and it is parsed as edismax with mm=75%, then the filterqueries are added, for keywords they are also parsed as edismax. The returned result is all the black dresses from 'Wenz'. If anybody has a better solution to what I've posted I would be more than happy to read up on it as I'm quite new to Solr and I think my way is a bit convoluted to be honest.
