How does "plugin.tx_solr.query.fields " work? - solr

Question

I need to be able to search by the News Tags property.
This typoscript is working fine, but when I input a tag (exact same string) from a News into Solr's search box I don't get any results.
According to "lorenz" in this answer I neede to add my dynamic fields (I believe) to "plugin.tx_solr.query.fields" but this poor documentation doesn't help me.
I added the following to that typoscript but when I use the searchbox to look for exactly the name of my tag I get no results.
(plugin.tx_solr.query.fields = tags_stringM)
Does anybody have any code that I can use as an example?
plugin.tx_solr{
search {
initializeWithEmptyQuery = 1
showResultsOfInitialEmptyQuery = 1
showEmptyFacets = 1
faceting = 1
faceting {

Aside from defining the fields for indexing you also need to declare these fields as relevant for search. (and with a weight how important they are for searching)
One possible solution could be like in this part of typoscript:
plugin {
tx_solr {
search {
query {
queryFields := addToList(categorytitle_stringS^2.0,keywords2.0,tags_stringM^2.0, tagshr_stringM^2.0)
}
}
}
}
