: I wonder if that's the same as
:
:   queryString + " publisher:Manning"
:
: and pass on to the query parser?

assuming queryString is a java variable containing your initial query,
then you are close, but not quite.  If you want to tell QueryParser to
make a clause "required" then you have to prefice it with a "+".

something like...

  String userQueryString = ...;
  String queryString = userQueryString + " +publisher:Manning";

...is probably what you want.

Alternately, instead of giving QueryParser a string you have built up
from little pieces, I would recommend that you let QueryParser build a
Query just off of the user input, and then either:

  a) Filter that query at search time (take a look at the Filter class and
     it's subclasses)
  b) Modify the Query object returned by the QueryParser -- either adding
     a mandatory clause to it if it's a BooleanQuery, or wrapping it in a
     new BooleanQuery that already contains your required clause.
