: dismax+join+fromIndex.
Correct. join+dismax works fine as i already demonstrated...

...the problem you are refering to now has nothing to do with dismax, and
is specificly a bug in how the query is parsed when "fromIndex" is
used (which i thought i already mentioned in this thread but i see you
found independently)...

Did you file a Jira about defaulting to "lucene" instead of null so we can
make the defType local param syntax work? I havne't seen it in my
email but it's really an unrelated problem so it should be tracked
seperately)
