I am using a custom handler with edismax parser. I am using uf parameter in

What is the fq value? This has not been shared.
Unless you explicitly request a parser *IN THE FQ PARAMETER VALUE*, the
filter will use the Lucene parser. And it will not be a postfilter if
it is using lucene, dismax, edismax or certain other parsers -- those
parsers do not implement PostFilter. The lucene parser does not support
the uf parameter.
I would say that it is not normal practice to put user input into fq
without modification. That should go into q, and there should probably
be some kind of validation in your code on user input before it gets to
Solr to look for possible problems.
Adding {!edismax} to the start of the fq value *might* make it honor the
uf parameter, but I have not tried this.
Thanks,
