Peter, Why don't you put all your "autocompletable" values into a single document field and just query a single field? Google seems to only use two fields for autocomplete - symbol and company name.

The index is quite large and comprised of multiple fields to search across so our initial implementation was to use a BooleanQuery with multiple PrefixQuery across each field. We quickly ran into the TooManyClauses exception and are looking for alternatives. Is there an implementation pattern for this use case using lucene? This seems like a common feature on various sites and I'm wondering if lucene can be used to support this. Thanks in advance.
