Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you. That worked and it brought the right results. Thanks.

You seem to be trying to specify your query input using the "q.alt" param

stop configuring a q.alt that matches you authors name, and instead

Re: Solr edismax always using the default fields?
It just defaults to text anyway. I remove it entirely from the solrconfig and never specify it in the solr query portion but it still defaults to text anyway. -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-edismax-always-using-the-default-fields-tp4216204p4216224.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: Solr edismax always using the default fields?
Well I've just been using an authors name. Last Name, First Name Middle Initial. Like *Snowman, Frosty T.* As for the debugging I'm not really seeing anything that would help me understand why the query fields aren't kicking in. And instead only the default fields are. I do see that is parsing the name as a text field though "org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanClause:text:*+lastname,", "org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanClause:+text:firstname", "org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanClause:+text:middleinitial* But I already knew it was parsing it as text. I just don't understand why it's going to the default field when other fields have been specified -- View this message in context: http://lucene.472066.n3.nabble.com/Solr-edismax-always-using-the-default-fields-tp4216204p4216211.html Sent from the Solr - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Re: Solr edismax always using the default fields?
What is your query?
Note that edismax uses the Lucene query parser by default, and dismax if
it encounters an error.
Add debugQuery=true to your query, and look at the parsed query output
to see what your query has been parsed into. This can often be very
illuminating as you will see which fields are used and when.
