Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-2458:
-------------------------------------
This patch fixes the bug in all queryparsers. I plan to commit soon.
If desired, someone can make their own euro-centric queryparser in the contrib
section and I have no objection, as long as its clearly documented that its
unsuitable for many languages (just like the JDK does).
> queryparser makes all CJK queries phrase queries regardless of analyzer

> Components: QueryParser
> Reporter: Robert Muir
> Assignee: Robert Muir

> The queryparser automatically makes *ALL* CJK, Thai, Lao, Myanmar, Tibetan,
> ... queries into phrase queries, even though you didn't ask for one, and
> there isn't a way to turn this off.
> This completely breaks lucene for these languages, as it treats all queries
> like 'grep'.
> Example: if you query for f:abcd with standardanalyzer, where a,b,c,d are
> chinese characters, you get a phrasequery of "a b c d". if you use cjk
> analyzer, its no better, its a phrasequery of "ab bc cd", and if you use
> smartchinese analyzer, you get a phrasequery like "ab cd". But the user
> didn't ask for one, and they cannot turn it off.
> The reason is that the code to form phrase queries is not internationally
> appropriate and assumes whitespace tokenization. If more than one token comes
> out of whitespace delimited text, its automatically a phrase query no matter
> what.
> The proposed patch fixes the core queryparser (with all backwards compat
> kept) to only form phrase queries when the double quote operator is used.
> Implementing subclasses can always extend the QP and auto-generate whatever
> kind of queries they want that might completely break search for languages
> they don't care about, but core general-purpose QPs should be language
> independent.
