Hi I am aware that with Lucene I can not do negative only queries such as -foo:bar
But today I ran into an issue where I realized even queries such as +foo:bar +(-goobly:doo) also never return any results. Basically I get the impression that I can not have a clause like +(-x:y) anywhere in my query. Is that a correct ? If this is indeed the case, does anyone have similar issues and how they get around. I 'think' supporting such queries would be good when queries are generated programmatically for whatever reasons (may be from some UI form) In the attached test file I am using string queries and showing the failure case. In my real app, I build lucene query objects tree using BooleanQuery componenets where each component is the result of parsing a snippet of a query, so when I add each snippet as 'MUST' I need to find a way of handling a snippet that is all negative. Writing the above paragraph I am beginning to realize that although my example shows the problem, it might be a wrong example in terms of me getting a solution to it :) Thanks in advance for any feedback and help. -Antony
