Dave, You don't mention what query parser you are using, but with the default query parser you can field qualify all the terms entered in a text box by surrounding them with parenthesis. So if you want to search against the 'title' field and they entered:
train OR dragon You could generate the Solr query: title:(train OR dragon) Historically however Solr has not processed queries that contain a mixture of boolean operators as expected. The problem is described here: http://robotlibrarian.billdueber.com/2011/12/solr-and-boolean-operators/ There is an open JIRA for this ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4023) so I assume the problem still exists in the most recent releases.
