There's a couple of non-obvious things going on here which I just dealt
with recently myself. I'm not using AAF but I would say the issues are
the same.

Firstly if you're using
index.search_each
the query parser that method uses does NOT use the default values -
specifically it does not handle parser errors.

If you're making your own QueryParser, there is another gotcha -> the
docs say to use the parameter handle_parser_errors but that's not right
with 0.10.13. It should be

Ferret::QueryParser.new({:handle_parse_errors => true}) # not
handle_parser_errors like docs say

Note the missing r on parse(r)
