Looks good on a quick glance. There are a couple of things... 1> there's no need for the "qt" param _if_ you specify the name as "/partItemNoSearch", just use blahblah/solr/partItemNoSearch There's a JIRA about when/if you need at. Either will do, it's up to you which you prefer.
2> I'd consider moving the sort from the "appends" section to the "defaults" section on the theory that you may want to override sorting sometime. 3> Simple way to see the effects of this is to simply append &debugQuery=on to your URL. You'll see the results of the query, including the parsed results. It's a little hard to read, but you should be seeing your search terms spread across all three fields.
