I would suggest debugging with browser requests -- then switching to
Solrj after you are at 1st base.
In particular, try adding the &debugQuery=true parameter to the
request and see what solr thinks is happening.
The value that will "work" for the 'qt' parameter depends on what is
configured in solrconfig.xml -- I suspect you want to point to a
requestHandler that is configured to use edismax query parser. This
can be configured by default with:
<lst name="defaults">
<str name="defType">edismax</str>
</lst>
