The fl parameter determines which stored fields show up in the results. By default, all fields that are stored will be returned. If you want relevancy scores, you'd include the pseudofield named "score" -- &fl=*,score is something we see a lot. The fl parameter does not affect the *search* at all. > q=skyfall OR ian ORfleming&fl=title&fl=owner&fq=doc_type:DOC > > > And get the same result as (per Shawn's example changed it bit toadd OR): > > > q=title:(skyfall OR ian OR fleming)owner:(skyfall OR ian OR > fleming)&fq=doc_type:DOC Exactly right. > Btw, my default search operator is set to AND.

For example, user types"skyfall ian fleming" and > selected 3 fields, and want to narrowdown to doc_type DOC. With the standard parser, you'd have to do the following. Assume that USERQUERY is a very basic query, perhaps a few terms, like your example of "skyfall ian fleming". q=field1:(USERQUERY) OR field2:(USERQUERY) OR field3:(USERQUERY)&fq=doc_type:DOC With edismax, you'd do: q=USERQUERY&qf=field1 field2 field3&fq=doc_type:DOC You might also add "&pf=field1 field2 field3" ... and there are a great many other edismax/dismax query parameters too. The edismax parser does some truly amazing stuff. Echoing what both Erick and I said ... worrying about the exact syntax is premature optimization. 10 million docs is something that Solr can handle easily, as long as there's enough RAM. Thanks, Shawn
