Hoss Man updated SOLR-1036:
---------------------------

    Description: 
on the trunk, defType currently defaults to the "lucenePlusSort" option, which 
has legacy support for syntax like "field:value;sort_field desc" where the 
semi-colon character is considered special if-and-only-if there is no "sort" 
param.

this syntax has proved confusing to new users on at least one occasion, and has 
been deprecated for a while.

In 1.4 we should change the default to use defType=lucene and add a note for 
people upgrading about how to force the legacy semicolon behavior.
