Thanks Erik,
That did the trick! My real use case will have additional predicates - I merely
trimmed it down to reproduce and illustrate the problem. I real query will
probably be something like (without encoding):
q= locale:en AND thingType:part AND _query_:"{!edismax qf='object_name
thing_name' pf=thing_name^10 v=$qq mm=$minMatch}"&qq=clutch
cable&minMatch=100%&fl=*,score

Subject: Re: qf with multiple fields in _query_ with edismax
Andy,
Use single quotes around the inner parameters, such as {!edismax
qf='object_name thing_name'}. Going even further, use the `v` parameter to
encapsulate the query string inside as well, as the parser eats everything
after the closing curly bracket otherwise. {!edismax qf='object_name
thing_name' v='r'}. Beyond that, if the query string is potentially complex,
and may itself contain a single quote, use param indirection....
q={!edismax qf='object_name thing_name' v=$qq mm='100%'}&qq=r
If you're only doing a single edismax, then using the _query_ here is not
necessary though.
