I think what Sreedhar is asking for is the capability to form a "join" across multiple indices - and if so, I could sure use that capability myself. However, I think Lucene's logic focuses only on a single query, so I doubt if that's easily done.

The query is run against each index, and it won't have any matches in either index, because neither index has both fields.
