When you have a category, add the pair of clauses as a sub-Boolean query.

Something like...

try
      {
          PhraseQuery textQuery = new PhraseQuery();
          PhraseQuery titleQuery = new PhraseQuery();
          PhraseQuery catQuery = new PhraseQuery();
          textQuery.setSlop( 20 );
          titleQuery.setSlop( 4 );

bQueryPair = new BooleanQuery();
bQueryAll = new BooleanQuery();

          for( int k = 0; k < phrase.length; k++ )
          {
              textQuery.add( new Term( NAME, phrase[k] ) );
              titleQuery.add( new Term( REVIEW, phrase[k] ) );


          }
          bQueryPair.add( textQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD );
          bQueryPair.add( titleQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD );

          if(category!=null && !category.equals("")){
           catQuery.add( new Term( TYPE, category ) );
           bQueryAll.add(catQuery,BooleanClause.Occur.MUST);
          bQueryAll.add(bQueryPair, BooleanCluase.Occur.MUST)

          } else {
             bQueryAll = bQueryPair;
          }

      }
      catch( Exception e )
      {
          throw new RuntimeException( "Unable to make any sense of the
query.", e );
      }


and use bQueryAll in your query.

And please be waaaay more elegant than the code I wrote <G>.

Hey guys,
I want to filter a result set on a particular field..I have code like this

try
        {
            PhraseQuery textQuery = new PhraseQuery();
            PhraseQuery titleQuery = new PhraseQuery();
            PhraseQuery catQuery = new PhraseQuery();
            textQuery.setSlop( 20 );
            titleQuery.setSlop( 4 );

            for( int k = 0; k < phrase.length; k++ )
            {
                textQuery.add( new Term( NAME, phrase[k] ) );
                titleQuery.add( new Term( REVIEW, phrase[k] ) );


            }
            bQuery.add( textQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD );
            bQuery.add( titleQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD );

            if(category!=null && !category.equals("")){
             catQuery.add( new Term( TYPE, category ) );
             bQuery.add(catQuery,BooleanClause.Occur.MUST);

            }

        }
        catch( Exception e )
        {
            throw new RuntimeException( "Unable to make any sense of the
query.", e );
        }



Now the problem is its getting all results for a particular category
regardless the "phrase" is  in the title or text field which make sense as
the other two have SHOULD clause. the problem is I can not set a MUST
clause
on the other two field as I need to match either one of the field. so what
i
want to is either title or text MUST have it and if category is not null
it
MUST have the category string passed. any ideas
