You still haven't provided the data. Here's what Mr. Hatcher needs you to
do.

Provide a very short program that demonstrates this. It should parse a query
and print out the parsed query using ToString. For instance, are you
lowercasing the query before parsing? In which case or is not treated as an
operator, but a term.

We can keep going back and forth only to discover that you are not providing
complete information. Or we're assuming something you aren't. or.... the
10,000 ways we can talk past each other without providing crucial
information.

So, please provide a short, self-contained program that demonstrates the
problem and I'm sure Mr. Hatcher will provide an answer in a trice.

I'm going to guess that you won't be able to do this, and in the process
you'll discover that you did something like... instantiated a new
QueryParser and didn't set the default operator as you think. Or lowercased
the query. Or set the default operator on a different QueryParser than you
actually used. Or......

Exactly.

That means that  last query "Lucene OR Query" must be parsed correct to
"Lucene query" with the OR operator while default operator is set to AND.
Right?

But in my implementation with default operator set to AND the query 'Hare
OR Tortoise' is parsed to 'Hare AND Tortoise'!

Betreff: Re: QueryParser explicit and implicit search operator

<<<How else would you explain the 316 search results, when the results for

Because some documents contain "Lucene" but not "Query" and vice-versa.

These results look perfectly reasonable to me too. The default operator is
AND, which is why queries 3 and 4 return the same results.

When you query on "Query" you get some number of documents (109 to be
exact)
that ALSO contain "Lucene". The reverse is also true, when you query
"Lucene", 109 of those documents also contain "Query".

So, if you subtract 109 (look familiar?) from the sum of the individual
queries for Lucene and Query, you get 316 (155 + 270 - 109) which is
exactly
what you get from "Lucene OR Query". All fine from my perspective.
