I have two fields, call them FieldA and FieldB.  I have a set of words I'm
looking for in FieldA, call them A1 and A2.  I have a different set of words
for FieldB, call them B1 and B2.  Now I want a hit list which contains items
that have at least one A item in FieldA and one B item in FieldB.  In
essence, I think I'm saying I want "(A1 OR A2) AND (B1 OR B2)"

Does the following do that:

        BooleanQuery Query QA = new Boolean Query();
        Query qa1 = QueryParser.parse("A1", "FieldA", analyzer());
        Query qa2 = QueryParser.parse("A2", "FieldA", analyzer());
        QA.add(qa1, false, false);      // this term is not required
        QA.add(qa2, false, false);      // this term is not required

        BooleanQuery QB = new BooleanQuery();
        Query qb1 = QueryParser.parse("B1", "FieldB", analyzer());
        Query qb2 = QueryParser.parse("B2", "FieldB", analyzer());
        QB.add(qb1, false, false);      // this term is not required
        QB.add(qb2, false, false);      // this term is not required

        BooleanQuery Qfinal = new BooleanQuery();
        Qfinal.add(QA, true, false);    // gotta have at least one from here
        Qfinal.add(QB, true, false);    // gotta have at least one from here

        hits = mySearcher.search(Qfinal);

I guess I'm assuming that if I add a queries to a BooleanQuery and none of
the items are required, there still needs to be a hit on at least one of the
items for the Document to make it out of the BooleanQuery.

Is this the right way to do this?  Is there an easier/faster way to do the
same thing?
