This is a PhraseQuery internally in Lucene. > Note: let consider i want documents that contents both words and i > constructed boolean query for that (i.e. +java +apache). > > Please let me clear if i wrong how lucene process this query? > First it search for all document for java then for apache and after that > it take the intersection of these to sets. is it? > if so where i want to know where lucene take the intersection and how > process the query?? It's a mix of determining the documents per term and merging. It works in the order of the internal document number, (which is the order of addition to the index, ) for both sets of documents. To determine the next matching document each set of documents advances to the document number at or after the current document of the other set, until both sets have the same document number. The intersection is taken in ConjunctionScorer and the sets are represented by a TermScorer, both viewable in this package: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/java/trunk/src/java/org/apache/lucene/search/ Advancing to a document number at or after a given document number is done in the skipTo() methods.
