Hi Sébastien, Have you looked into the DisjunctionMaxQuery <http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/api/org/apache/lucene/search/DisjunctionMaxQuery.html>? From that page:
A query that generates the union of documents produced by its subqueries, and that scores each document with the maximum score for that document as produced by any subquery, plus a tie breaking increment for any additional matching subqueries. This is useful when searching for a word in multiple fields with different boost factors (so that the fields cannot be combined equivalently into a single search field). We want the primary score to be the one associated with the highest boost, not the sum of the field scores (as BooleanQuery would give). Here's the Solr wiki page for it: <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler>. I think you could just give the name and description fields the same boost, and you'd be pretty close to getting what you want right out of the box with Solr.
