You're going to have to delve into the details of what the various analyzers do. And perhaps write your own.
The syntax "something and"*, with the asterisk outside the quotes isn't supported syntax as far as I know. Adding quotes changes the syntax, so "some word*" is a phrase query, which probably isn't what you want. Some things to think about.... How do spaces play in your problem space? What about capitalizations? One solution is to take total control over the inputs, and index things exactly as you wish, for instance substitute underbars for spaces, manually lowercase things (or writer a filter and/or analyzer) and index using WhitespaceAnalyzer. Do something similar on searches. Of course, you need to do a similar process for your search terms. You could also think about SpanFirstQuery, although you have to construct that query yourself since, last I knew, there wasn't support for the Span family in the QueryParser. KeywordAnalyzer might help here. What would definitely help you is to get a copy of Luke and try various analyzers out to see how they parse the query strings you want to try with various analyzers. This will give you a MUCH better idea of what actually happens with the analyzers. Google lucene luke......
