Spaces, if there in a term query, should be escaped before searching. myField:quick\ brown\ fox is the correct way to search for quick brown fox in myField using TermQuery.

The response will contain a lot of helpful information on how the incoming query was parsed into a Lucene query, thereby giving you a good idea as to what might have gone wrong.
