Hey Alain,
finally jumped on board? :-) hope to see you in berlin in a few month ..

i would suggest to use the OO-Syntax for more complex queries .. like
that:
query = BooleanQuery.new
[ :first_name, :last_name ].each do |key|
query.add_query( PrefixQuery.new( key, 'jo' ), :should )
end
for a people-livesearch, i do something like [1]:
def build_livesearch_query( fields, q )
q = filter_special_characters( q ) # custom method
query = BooleanQuery.new
fields.uniq.each do |field|
sq = SpanNearQuery.new(:in_order => true, :slop => 1)
terms = analyze_query(q, field) # custom method
terms.each do |term|
sq << SpanPrefixQuery.new( field, term )
end
query << sq
end
query
end
i call that like
build_livesearch_query( [:first_name, :last_name, :email, q ) # q
is an array of search words
