Take a look at BooleanQuery and the setBoost() call on Query, and BooleanClause.Occur for the MUST/SHOULD logic.
Something along the lines of this pseudo code BooleanQuery bq = new BooleanQuery(); Query titleq = xxx; titleq.setBoost(somevalue) bq.add(titleq, must|should) Query addressq = yyy addressq.setBoost(someothervalue) bq.add(addressq, ...) searcher.search(bq, ...) You might be able to do the whole thing with the query parser but once the logic gets more than trivial I always prefer to build the queries in code. You can use the parser to generate the titleq, addressq etc. queries if that is appropriate. You can nest BooleanQuery instances if you need that level of if (this) but not (that or that) unless (whichever or whatever) except when (). Which you might. -- Ian.
