I'm not sure I understand the purpose of the double negatives. Also, a boolean query must have some non-prohibited clauses to match anything (and mydocs in your code example violates this).
Is the following what you are trying to do? BooleanQuery mbq = new BooleanQuery(); TermQuery mydocs = body:darpa query; MatchAllDocsQuery alldocs = new MatchAllDocsQuery(); mbq.add(mydocs , BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT); mbq.add(alld, BooleanClause.Occur.MUST); -Yonik On 12/20/05, javier muguruza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > If I run a query like this: > -(-body:angel) -(-body:darpa) > I get 0 hits.
