Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I will need a more robust solution, because this will only work with pairs of fields. I should have specified that the example I gave was somewhat contrived, but in practice there could be more than two parallel fields. I'm trying to find a general solution that I can apply to any number of parallel fields holding any kind of data.
I was thinking of trying something along the lines of a multi-value field. So for example, I could have: page_user_title: ajax|news (where | is a field separator) The problem is I don't know how to formulate the query that would be equivalent to +username:ajax +page_title:news, or if it's even possible. (I should also mention that I am creating the queries programmatically, not using the query parser, so anything goes). Any other ideas?
