: I built a wrong query string "word1,word2,word3" instead of "word1 : word2 word3" : therefore I got a wrong query: field:"word1 word2 word3" instead of : field:word1 field:word2 field:word3. : : Is this an espected behaviour? : I used Standard analyzer, probably therefore, the comas were replaced : with spaces.
the commas weren't replaced ... your analyzer split on them and threw them away. they key to understanding why that resulted in a phrase query instead of three term queries is that QueryParser doesn't treat comma as a special character, so it saw the string word1,word2,word3 and gave it to your analyzer. Since your analyzer gave back several tokens QueryParser built a phrase query out of it. likewise, in the case of "word1 word2 word3" the quotes *are* a special character to QueryParser which tells it it should *not* split on the spaces betwen the quotes, and hand the individual words to the analyzer. instead it hands the whole thing to the analyzer as one big string again. : Is this a bug? Does it make sense to indicate this situation through a : Parse Exception? a parse error should really onl come up when the query parser sees a character that it does consider special, but sees it in a place that doesn't make sense (or doesn't see one in a plkace it needs one). in this case QP is perfectly happy to let you query for a word that contains a comma -- it's your analyzer that's putting it's foot down and saying that can't be in a word. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
