Tate,

The correct syntax is something like +(keyword:computers) -(subject:News).

HTH.

Maybe it would be helpful to add parse(String[] query, String[] fields,
Analyzer analyzer) methods into MultiFieldQueryParser? What do you think
Otis?

I use a BooleanQuery and add individual queries to it, it is working for me.

Thanks for all your help.

The only way i could get it to work was the following

BooleanQuery bQuery = new BooleanQuery();

TermQuery tSubject = new TermQuery( new Term( SUBJECT_KEY, subject ));
TermQuery tKeyword = new TermQuery( new Term( KEYWORD_KEY, keyword ));

bQuery.add( tSubject, true, false );
bQuery.add( tkeyword, true, false );

Query qContent = QueryParser.parse( literal, CONTENT_KEY, analyzer );
bQuery.add( qContent, false, false );

//Perform query
hits = indexSearcher.search(bQuery);

// debug logging
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {

logger.debug("Searching the fulltext string index pool with '" +
bQuery.toString(CONTENT_KEY)+"'" );
}

Could not see how the MultiFieldQueryParser could take in multiple queries. ie. SUBJECT, KEYWORD & CONTENT field
have different values to be queried. It only takes a single query.

Any ideas on how to escape the forward slash.

The string added was successful
"this/is/a/test/for/slashes"

I then tried to search for
"this/is/a/test/for/slashes"

then the exception occurred.

Thanks
Tate

You're right in that it doesn't. What I'm wondering right now, is if that's
a reasonably common request to warrant its inclusion into the
MultiFieldQueryParser class...

I remember a NPE in some seek method, and I think that was fixed.
Is this the latest version? Compiling with debug flag turned off will
show line numbers.

Kelvin,

Right now I can't imagine a situation where one would need to pass
multiple query strings in. I certainly don't need it anywhere where I
use Lucene, at least not yet. So I'd say hold off with that addition
unless people say they really need it. Couldn't one always just call
the parse method multiple times with a different query string each
time, and then combine returned Query instances?

Otis,

I suppose that's possible.

Actually if you need to construct complex multi-field boolean queries via a
web-based form, my recommendation is to use client-side Javascript. I posted
one such script a while back (for the life of me I don't know why it slipped
my mind about it). The difficulty, IMHO, is not getting QueryParser to
construct the query, but making query construction by the end-user simple
enough and idiot-proof...:)

Regards,
Kelvin

hmmm...really?

My impression was that the "AND"s are treated equivalently with "+"s by the
parser, so they're redundant. The "{" and "}"s aren't part of the syntax,
are they?

Correct.

I was wondering where those came from.
I don't think I've seen them in QueryParser.jj.

<Feeling Guilty>It could possibly be the documentation in

HI,
The AND is not quite the same as +, the AND puts a + next to the previous
and next word.
That is foo AND bar is equivlent to +foo +bar
If you just said foo +bar then you have foo optional and bar required.

Slight difference.

From looking at the queryParser a while ago the {} characters are exclusive
(or maybe it's inclusive) range query operators, similar to []. I don't
think they make sense here.
