The fl parameter determines which stored fields show up in the results. 
By default, all fields that are stored will be returned.  If you want
relevancy scores, you'd include the pseudofield named "score" --
&fl=*,score is something we see a lot.  The fl parameter does not affect
the *search* at all.

Exactly right.

> Btw, my default search operator is set to AND.  My need is tofind whatever the user types in both of those two fields (or maybe some otherfields which is controlled by the UI).. For example, user types"skyfall ian fleming" and selected 3 fields, and want to narrowdown to doc_type DOC.

With the standard parser, you'd have to do the following.  Assume that
USERQUERY is a very basic query, perhaps a few terms, like your example
of "skyfall ian fleming".

q=field1:(USERQUERY) OR field2:(USERQUERY) OR
field3:(USERQUERY)&fq=doc_type:DOC

With edismax, you'd do:

q=USERQUERY&qf=field1 field2 field3&fq=doc_type:DOC

You might also add "&pf=field1 field2 field3" ... and there are a great
many other edismax/dismax query parameters too.  The edismax parser does
some truly amazing stuff.

Echoing what both Erick and I said ... worrying about the exact syntax
is premature optimization.  10 million docs is something that Solr can
handle easily, as long as there's enough RAM.

Thanks,
Shawn
