Hi Chris,
The PhraseQuery class does no parsing; tokenization is expected to happen
before you feed anything to it. So unless you have an index-time analyzer that
outputs terms that look like "aaa ddd" -- that is, terms with embedded spaces
-- then attempting to use PhraseQuery or any other query type to look for these
terms will bring you no joy. (Of course, this only applies if you are not
using a query parser - I believe John's point about enclosing a phrase query in
quotes refers to the action Lucene's QueryParser takes when it sees input of
this sort.)
The way that it worked for you - adding terms one at a time, with no quotes and
no spaces - is the correct usage pattern.
