Let me expound more on the question. Will the q1 be run on the BooleanQuery q2
and append the results that are not equal to the result of the first query of
q2?

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
