Thanks Stefan. It turns out my problem/confusion was because I was using fields="[my_field_name]" instead of fields="DEFAULT" in the plugin.xml definition of my query filter. If I understand it correctly that was causing my filter to only get used when I did a search for "[my_field_name]:[query]". Once I can figure out the right way to document that, I'll give it a shot.
