I think your looking at a limitation of using the "fulltext" approach.
You are also loosing the boosting you would get for matching on shorter
fields. Sometimes you just have to give in and query across all fields
or take the compromise..Lucene does not have a concept of "meta-fields"
within fields that I know of.

maybe this is a silly question but why not create a title field and a
description field and
boost them separately?
