It depends on several things:1) The query handler that you are using
2) The fields that you are searching on and default fields specified

For the default handler, it will issue a query for the default field and
return results accordingly. To see what is going on  pass the
&debugQuery=true to the end of the URL to see detailed output. If you are
using the DisMaxHandler (DisJoint Max) then you will have a qf, pf and bf
(query fields, phrase fields, boosting function). I would start looking at
http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxRequestHandler
