Hey,
I do not think mergeBooleanQueries is necessary. It
sounds like what you want to do is this:
Query userEntered = QueryParser.parse("foo bar");
Query otherQuery = new TermQuery(new
Term("myfield","abc defg"));
BooleanQuery completeQuery = new BooleanQuery();
completeQuery.add(userEntered,true,false);
completeQuery.add(otherQuery,true,false);
Then just use completeQuery in your search. Hope I
understood your issue correctly. Also as a note, the
syntax above will work in Lucene 1.4.3, but it looks
like BooleanQuery.add() has changed in 2.0.0.
