It's unclear what you *should* expect. How is your data distributed? In other words, how many documents do you have? In this example, for instance, 1. TTL:data AND TTL:store OR TTL:variable => 3,733 results it considered the TTL:data part only.
it's perfecily reasonable if every document that had "variable" in the field *also* has "data" and "store" in the field. So your numbers don't give us much to work with..... Remember, though, that Lucene syntax isn't a pure boolean syntax. See http://wiki.apache.org/lucene-java/BooleanQuerySyntax And when in doubt parenthesize <G>...
