Hi Paul,
But will the q1 be run on the BooleanQuery q2 or q1 is just used for filtering?
Regards,
Jay Malaluan

Do you mean you want to run two separate queries -- get all the results from
query 1 first, then get the results which match query 2 but also DON'T match
query 1?
e.g. search for "fruit:apple", get back x records
then search for "colour:blue", get back records with 'blue' as a colour but
WITHOUT 'apple' as a fruit?
Do the first query as normal, then create a second BooleanQuery; add one clause
for "colour:blue", Occur.MUST, and then add the query from the first search as
a MUST_NOT.
Query q1 = new TermQuery(new Term("fruit", "apple"));
.... run query, get back all apples ...
BooleanQuery q2 = new BooleanQuery();
q2.add(new TermQuery(new Term("colour", "blue")), Occur.MUST);
q2.add(q1, Occur.MUST_NOT);
.... run query q2, get back all blue things that don't have apples ...
Cheers,
Paul
