Hi
Escaping should work. See http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_1/queryparsersyntax.html and QueryParser.escape(). And you need to be sure that your analyzer isn't removing the plus signs and that you use the same analyzer for indexing and searching. Googling for something like "lucene escape" will find you more info. Luke will tell you what is actually in your index. -- Ian.
