If the query analyzer produces two or more tokens from a single token,
QueryParser constructs PhraseQuery. Therefore it is expected.
Without writing custom code it seems impossible to alter this behavior.
Modifying QueryParser to change this behavior will be troublesome.
I think easiest way is to replace '-' with whitespace before analysis phase.
Probably in client side. Or in an custom RequestHandler.
May be you can set qp.setPhraseSlop(Integer.MAX_VALUE); so that
field:foo-bar and field:(foo AND bar) will be virtually equal.
hope this helps.
