Hi ryan, I guess you use the StandardAnalyzer with standard constructor. The standard analyzer uses a list of stopwords. And "a" is within this list. So if the StandardAnalyzer sees the token "a" he ignores it.
I think a possible Solution would be to use a PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper to use a KeywordAnalyzer/SimpleAnalyzer for this field. Using the standardanalyzer with second query will result in the same query like above. Just businessName:toys is used for searching. So the result must be the same. I hope this helps you.

One of the fields that I have indexed with Lucene contains a single character value which stands for a code. When I make queries using a StandardAnalyzer lucene is ignoring queries against the said field when using the required operator (+), however when trying out the reverse of the condition using the prohibit operator (-) it works ok. Below is a sample of the lucene query: //This does not work. It just ignores the industrial codes and shows documents with the term toys +industrialCode:a +businessName:toys //Trying out the opposite -- this works shows documents not having the industrial code "a" -industrialCode:a +businessName:toys Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
