The "false, false" on when you add the subclauses should be doing the "OR"
behavior, but more then likely the problem you are running into has to do
with the analyzer being used by your QueryParser when it parses your
string -- when you build the query up by hand, no analyzer is used, so if
the analyzer used at indexing time did any lowercasing or steming you'll
miss a lot of matches.
a quick thing you should try is comparing the toString from each of the
queries you are comparing (the one QueryParser built, and the one you
built by hand). You should also look at this wiki entry, and pick up a
copy of Lucene in Action and read chapter 4.
: And I'm wondering what happens if I boost a TermQuery with a value smaller
: then one. I'm asking because I would like to boost each TermQuery with the
: td*idf Value of the term in the original document. From my point of view,
: this should lead to a better precision, but on the first looks the results
: are worse.
Before you try this, make sure you understand the existing score
claculation ... look a the explain info for each document against your
query and see what it's already doing.
