Mark Miller commented on LUCENE-1486:
-------------------------------------
I originally thought it might live in contrib as well (see above), but I'm
personally fine with it being in core.
bq. It seems like a lot of queries you could enter here are not really
supported and might throw strange exceptions.
A lot of queries? I think Adriano is just having trouble with phrases inside
phrases, which is unsupported. Other things that are not supported might throw
exceptions too, but I think thats to be expected? I see what Adriano was
talking about now - technically the first 2 quotes would match, and then the
second two - I think Mark H was just demonstrating that you shouldn't try query
though - a user might think they are quoting smith, but for the example, it
doesn't matter. I think he just trying to show that you shouldn't try and
"nest" phrases - even though they wouldn't be interpreted that way anyway.
It only supports a limited subset of the Lucene query language - perhaps we
could improve the exceptions being thrown, but the exceptions the queryparser
throws often leave just as much to be desired. I don't think its experimental
because of that.
Personally, I think the class does what it intends - allows a limited subset of
the Lucene query language in phrases. Though of course it could be improved.
I'll let Mark H respond though. I also don't mind seeing it moved to contrib,
but I'm not sure anything glaring points to it being moved at the moment. It
lives up to its limited contract I think.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1486
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: QueryParser
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Mark Harwood
> Assignee: Mark Harwood
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.9
>
> Attachments: ComplexPhraseQueryParser.java,
> junit_complex_phrase_qp_07_21_2009.patch, LUCENE-1486.patch,

> TestComplexPhraseQuery.java
>
>
> An extension to the default QueryParser that overrides the parsing of
> PhraseQueries to allow more complex syntax e.g. wildcards in phrase queries.
> The implementation feels a little hacky - this is arguably better handled in
> QueryParser itself. This works as a proof of concept for much of the query
> parser syntax. Examples from the Junit test include:
> checkMatches("\"j* smyth~\"", "1,2"); //wildcards and fuzzies
> are OK in phrases
> checkMatches("\"(jo* -john) smith\"", "2"); // boolean logic
> works
> checkMatches("\"jo* smith\"~2", "1,2,3"); // position logic
> works.
>
> checkBadQuery("\"jo* id:1 smith\""); //mixing fields in a
> phrase is bad
> checkBadQuery("\"jo* \"smith\" \""); //phrases inside phrases
> is bad
> checkBadQuery("\"jo* [sma TO smZ]\" \""); //range queries
> inside phrases not supported
> Code plus Junit test to follow...
