Bill,
I don't receive any .java. Could you send it again?
Thanks.

Asunto: MultiFieldQueryParser seems broken... Fix attached.
Hi!
I'm using Lucene for an application which has lots of fields/document,
in which the users can specify in their config files what fields they
wish to be included by default in a search. I'd been happily using
MultiFieldQueryParser to do the searches, but the darn users started
demanding more Google-like searches; that is, they want the search
terms to be implicitly AND-ed instead of implicitly OR-ed. No
problem, thinks I, I'll just set the "operator".
Only to find this has no effect on MultiFieldQueryParser.
Once I looked at the code, I find that MultiFieldQueryParser combines
the clauses at the wrong level -- it combines them at the outermost
level instead of the innermost level. This means that if you have two
fields, "author" and "title", and the search string "cutting lucene",
you'll get the final query
(title:cutting title:lucene) (author:cutting author:lucene)
If the search operator is "OR", this isn't a problem. But if it is,
you have two problems. The first is that MultiFieldQueryParser seems
to ignore the operator entirely. But even if it didn't, the second
problem is that the query formed would be
+(title:cutting title:lucene) +(author:cutting author:lucene)
That is, if the word "Lucene" was in both the author field and the
title field, the match would fit. This clearly isn't what the
searcher intended.
You can re-write MultiFieldQueryParser, as I've done in the example
code which I append here. This little program allows you to run
either my parser (-DSearchTest.QueryParser=new) or the old parser
(-DSearchTest.QueryParser=old). It allows you to use either OR
(-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultOperator=or) or AND
(-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultOperator=and) as the operator. And it
allows you to pick your favorite set of default search terms
(-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultFields=author:title:body, for example). It
takes one argument, a query string, and outputs the re-written query
after running it through the query parser. So to evaluate the above
query:
% java -classpath /import/lucene/lucene-1.4.1.jar:. \
-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultFields="title:author" \
-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultOperator=AND \
-DSearchTest.QueryParser=old \
SearchTest "cutting lucene"
query is (title:cutting title:lucene) (author:cutting author:lucene)
%
The class NewMultiFieldQueryParser does the combination at the inner
level, using an override of "addClause", instead of the outer level.
Note that it can't cover all cases (notably PhrasePrefixQuery, because
that class has no access methods which allow one to introspect over
it, and SpanQueries, because I don't understand them well enough :-).
I post it here in advance of filing a formal bug report for early
feedback. But it will show up in a bug report in the near future.
Running the above query with the new parser gives:
% java -classpath /import/lucene/lucene-1.4.1.jar:. \
-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultFields="title:author" \
-DSearchTest.QueryDefaultOperator=AND \
-DSearchTest.QueryParser=new \
SearchTest "cutting lucene"
query is +(title:cutting author:cutting) +(title:lucene author:lucene)
%
which I claim is what the user is expecting.
In addition, the new class uses an API more similar to QueryParser, so
that the user has less to learn when using it. The code in it could
probably just be folded into QueryParser, in fact.
