yeah ... the semantics discussed previously for backwards compatibility were... 1) if sort param, use it and do no special ; parsing 2) if no sort param, check for ; and extract sort ..but i'm wondering if we want an explicit param indicating that the old behavior should be supressed -- that way having no sort param can default to sort on score just like with dismax (and it won't break if the query happens to have a ; in it). -Hoss
