df is default field - you can only give one. To search over multiple
fields, you switch to eDisMax query parser and fl parameter.
Then, the question will be what type definition your fields have. When you
search text field, you are using its definition because of copyField. Your
original fields may be strings.
Remember to reload core and reminded when you change definitions.
