Boolean Queries

I've been experimenting with boolean queries to find out their real meaning. If you want to submit a query and would like the returned hits to be documents in which ALL the query terms appear, is it necessary to construct a boolean query adding a clause for each term in the query: booleanQuery.

Hi! Can anyone tell me what kind of indexer Lucene is? Statistical, Probabilistic, Boolean, Extended Boolean? I can't seem to find the answer in any documentation or article and it's really important that I know the type before I use Lucene in for application! Thanks! Melissa
