Nope, wasn't a mistake. We'd have to dynamically iterate through an unknown
number of fields if we didn't use the same one.

I'm assuming that you mistakenly used the same field name above in
("myfield:foobar" and "myfield:dog"), and that you instead meant:
"myfield1:foobar" and "myfield2:dog".
I think you can get what you want by specifying every field in the query -
e.g.,
if each document has the same set of two fields F1 and F2:
(*:* AND -F1:foo*) OR (*:* AND -F2:foo*)
Truth table for four documents:
Doc1: F1:foobar (no-match), F2:dog (match) => match
Doc2: F1:cat (match), F2:dog (match) => match
Doc3: F1:cat (match), F2:foosball (no-match) => match
Doc4: F1:foobar (no-match), F2:foosball (no-match) => no-match
Good luck,
Steve
