I'm using the StandardAnalyzer for both searching and indexing. Here's the code to parse the query: Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader); Analyzer analyzer = new StandardAnalyzer(stopwords); System.out.println(queryString); QueryParser qp = new QueryParser(searchField,analyzer); Query query = qp.parse(queryString); queryString = query.toString(); System.out.println(queryString); And here's the output from the println's: r2_resume_text:c\+\+ AND r2_resume_text: c\# +r2_resume_text:c +r2_resume_text:c Also the documentation doesn't say anything about # having to be escaped. Do I have to escape during indexing too? Sincerely, Chris Salem

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.
