Nir, As Erick said, the surround query language does the things requested. It is in contrib/surround.

Did I miss it, and when not, could you add it? As far as qsol syntax goes, here are some suggestions. Qsol mostly has binary operators, but with the following operators also as prefix a lot more would be possible. (Since there is already a prefix form for field searches, a lookahead in the syntax might be needed to avoid ambiguity with such prefix operators.) Boolean: & and | as prefix would allow easier mapping to BooleanQuery, and an extra operator for optional clauses (just like ! now) would allow all possibilities of BooleanQuery. Distance: operator ~ as prefix would allow multiple arguments to SpanNearQuery, and with a single argument this could map to SpanFirstQuery. Actually, with the above additions, qsol seems to be pretty close to providing all of lucene in a single query language.
