You don't use any method signature in Lucene. Remember Lucene is a search
engine. You create a proper query.
So your query will be something like this:
Query query = QueryParser.parse("creator:\"Elizabeth Castro\"", "creator",
new StandardAnalyzer());
indexSearcher.search(query);
There if you want more "properties" and "values" you can have it by having
it more in the search quer. IE:
creator:"Victor Hugo" AND title:"Les Miserables"
This will return you exactly 1 hit.
