Emits a query_string full-text clause over the selected fields; the search pin supports full Lucene syntax (wildcards, AND/OR, field scoping), and malformed syntax fails the whole search : for raw user input use simple query string instead. Fields are read from the fielddefinitions pin (entries without a non-empty field string are dropped); search defaults to "" and boost to 1. default_operator is "OR" unless the or pin holds a truthy value, which is then stringified into the operator.

A typical wiring for query string: the query out pin feeds cast to object.
