Advanced search masks are generally very very very badly considered. They're heavy, hard to read and most commonly unused. Facets, however, are the best way to enter the advanced search without the user seeing it.
I just want to say that when me and Eduard are talking about "advanced search" we meant the ability to be able to filter and refine the search results, doesn't matter if it's pre or post query, etc. We didn't insist on advanced search solution. Faceted navigation as a search pattern is great to be used. So we may have missed-used the domain terms.

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/dashboard just an example of really advanced faceted search with single search field
I just love this approach. (note that this is not called facetted search which "generates refinements suggestions", but this is a form of advanced search, I believe) And it would combine well with the Edismax
http://lucidworks.lucidimagination.com/display/solr/The+Extended+DisMax+Quer...
Yes, am using Edismax parser and this is possible with edismax.
It would be interesting to investigate if such auto-completion (also similar to that of the jira search I think) has already been implemented with Edismax. Savitha? I think asking on the solr-user list would make sense! For having implemented a basic auto-completion for i2geo.net, I dare say that it is a very picky implementation...
There is already Suggester Component available for solr. http://wiki.apache.org/solr/Suggester/ http://wiki.apache.org/solr/TermsComponent Am investigating more into this. Using ajax requests with suggester component should yield a good search auto completion.
I am not 100% sure this is what most users are going to like. But I am sure it creates nicely exchangeable URls which are also very important.
