@ DamienMcKenna: There’s the “Aggregate field” field type for this. Just create one fulltext field containing all the fulltext fields you want.
Also, this has nothing to do with the issue in question anymore. - 🇩🇪Germany mkalkbrenner 🇩🇪
FYI: Within Search API Solr we now have the auto_aggregated_fulltext_field which is comparabel to the old "content" field in the Solr schema of Drupal 6 and 7.

I just created a new site and I was not aware that only full text fields were searchable.
It took me a long time to get to know this fact.
If indexed fields are fulltext by default, then it would be very helpful for those setting up a new site, since if someone is setting up a search index, they would surely want to search for content also. - 🇩🇪Germany mkalkbrenner 🇩🇪
On more important note: facets can only be built from simple types like string or numeric, not from fulltext fields.

Yes, that is true.
But for facets, we need to install an additional module.
Those who don't install that module and only need search available, which this module provides, for them searching will not work because the fields are not fulltext fields.
I was wondering if we could like have default fulltext fields, then when the facets module is installed, clone the fulltext fields to text fields, using hook_modules_installed().
