Hi John,

Please ignore my earlier questions on this subject, as I have got to the bottom of it. I was not passing each word in the phrase as a separate Term to the query; instead I was passing the whole string (doh!).

Thanks.

Hi John,

Further to my question below, I did some back-to-basics investigation of PhraseQueries and found that even basic ones fail for me... I found the attached code on the Internet (see http://affy.blogspot.com/2003/04/codebit-examples-for-all-of-lucenes.html) and this fails too... Can you explain why? I would expect the first test to deliver 2 hits.

I have tried with Lucene 2.0 and 2.3.2 jars and both fail.

Thanks again,

- Chris

Hi John,

Just continuing from an earlier question where I asked you how to handle strings like "from:fred flintston*" (sorry I have lost the original email). You advised me to write my own BooleanQuery and add to it Prefix- / Term- / Phrase- Querys as appropriate. I have done so, but am having trouble with the result - my PhraseQueries just do not get any hits at all :-( My code looks for quotes - if it finds them, it treats the quoted phrase as a PhraseQuery and sets the slop factor to 0.
so,  an input of:

   subject:"Good Morning"

results in a PhraseQuery (which I add to my BooleanQuery and then dump with toString()) of:

   +subject:"good morning"

... which fails.
However, if I break it into 2 TermQuerys, it works (but that's not what I want).

What am I missing?

Thanks,

- Chris
