I would use a RangeFilter instead of using the default Boolean query as this will always break at some point with Too many Boolean clauses. Extend QueryParser to sort this out. As far as extracting information from log files I would look at creating yourself a LogAnalyzer that can interpret the contents and indexing it appropriately.
