Description

The DisMaxQParser parses the bf parameter using the SolrPluginUtils.parseFieldBoosts(...) function. This function tokenizes the string based on whitespaces and then bulilds a map mapping fields to their boost values. Unfortunately, the the *

{!...}

* form of a query contains whitespaces and therefore the parsing of the boost function fails.

This should be considered as a bug as effectively it forces the use of parameter dereferencing which in many cases is not ideal.
