No. setFields is equvalent to &fl=title,description It determines which
fields will be returned as a result.

SolrQuery extends ModifiableSolrParams. If you look at the source code of it
you can understand. For example setQuery method invokes
this.set(CommonParams.Q, query);
You can set anything in the search url with this class. &key=value is equal to
SolrQuery.set(key, value). There are some multivalued keys like fq and
facet.field, in those cases you can use add() method.
