Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-2368:
-----------------------------------

Today we can use pf, pf2, pf3 to *boost* only, as qf is required and always 
adds a MUST clause.
I think it would be useful to allow "pf/pf2/pf3" to give results if "qf" is not 
specified, i.e. empty qf must not add any MUST clause to the query.

Then this would generate a query with one SHOULD clause returning *only* docs 
where foo and bar exist within 100 terms.
{noformat}
q=foo bar&qf=&pf=text&ps=100
{noformat}

In fact, it is impossible to say qf= to specify an empty qf, it still falls 
back to schema's defaultSearchField..
