------------------------------------

             Summary: ExtendedDismaxQParser (edismax) does not obey q.op for 
tokens split by an analyzer
                 Key: SOLR-3739
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3739
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: query parsers
    Affects Versions: 4.0-BETA, 3.6.1
            Reporter: Jack Krupansky
             Fix For: 4.0, 3.6.2


If a field type analyzer splits a query token into multiple terms when the 
classic Lucene query parser is called from the edismax query parser, the terms 
will always be combined with the "OR" operator even if the user has explicitly 
set the default query operator to "AND" with the "q.op" request parameter.

This is because edismax only simulates the default operator by forcing "mm" 
(minMatch) to 100% for the top-level BooleanQuery alone and never sets the 
default query operator when it invokes the classic Lucene Query parser which in 
turn is performing the term analysis and generation of the nested Boolean Query 
for the sub-terms.

One solution is for edismax to always set the default query operator when 
calling the classic Lucene query parser, or at least when q.op=AND.

Whether to also set the Lucene default query operator to AND when mm=100% is 
another possibility, but subject to debate. It is asserted that mm=100% is only 
supposed to apply to the top-level query and not to any nested (parenthesized 
or split term) queries, but I suggest that failing to treat mm=100% as if 
q.op=AND will lead to more confusion and surprise for non-expert users than 
doing so. Note that there is no current API for setting the default minMatch 
for the classic Lucene query parser, and even if there were, the question of 
whether it should only apply to the top-level query would still arise.
