             Summary: Improve TermInSetQuery.toString
                 Key: LUCENE-8094
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8094
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
             Fix For: master (8.0), 7.3


Today a {{TermInSetQuery}} on field F and terms A, B, C returns this from 
{{toString}}:

{noformat}
  F:A F:B F:C
{noformat}

But this gets misleading when you embed it in a {{BooleanQuery}} as a negated 
clause, which then renders like this:

{noformat}
  -F:A F:B F:C
{noformat}

Making it look like only the first clause is negated when in fact they all are.

So ... I'd like to instead change it to:

{noformat}
F:(A B C)
{noformat}

I know {{Query.toString}} is simply best-effort, is not guaranteed to make 
something you can then parse in any query parser back to itself, etc., but I 
think we should still try to make a string that is not misleading when humans 
stare at it?
