I have no problem with automatic. It is "automagicall" stuff that I find a bit hard to like. Ie things that are automatic, but doesn't explain how and why they are automatic. But Disney Land and Disney World are actually really good examples of places where the magic stuff is suitable, ie in themeparks, designed mostly for kids. In the grown up world of IT, most people prefer logical and documented stuff, not things that "just works" without explaining why. No offence :)

No special request handler is needed - just the normal default handler. Just the defType and qf parameters are needed - as shown in the wiki examples. It really is that simple! All you have to supply is the list of fields to query (qf) and your actual query text (q). I know, I know... some people just can't handle automatic.
