the .toString() looks excactly like the query I enter: if I search for "yahoo AND 200" it returns 0 hits. I am sure there are documents that have 200 hundreds in them. The analyzer I am using is a custom analyzer that has a list of stop words. I don t know much about the way data was indexed, I am just developing an aplication to search using the analyzer that was used while indexing.
Try the tips here: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-lucene/AnalysisParalysis - you need to analyze your analyzer and ensure what you think was indexed actually was. Also, look into using Luke - http://www.getopt.org/luke/ - to see what makes your index tick.
my concern now is if there is an error with the way the indexing was do I have to reindex the documents?
Yes. That's just the nature of how it works. Getting the analysis right is important stuff, and if you didn't index it, you can't search for it!
Feel free to share more details of your analyzer, and we'd be happy to "analyze" it.

thanks

What is the .toString of the Query object instance returned from QueryParser? What Analyzer are you using? How did you index the field(s) being queried?
