Say for a moment your field was author, and you index multiple authors by having multiple occurrences of a Field named author. So you might have: author: John Smith author: Mary Jones now the query author:smith author:jones should return this document, but the query author:"john jones" should not. It would be unfortunate if this were "fixed" to return the document with the phrasal query, since the two words in different fields do not in fact occur as a phrase. If you have "the quick brown fox..." as in your example, your indexing code should combine them all into a single field before adding them to the Document. Just my humble opinion, of course...
