Well... you are 50% right.
when you write
*
*
* Query q = qp.parse("\"united states\"");*
It does search for two separate tokens "united" and "states" but checks if
those are written sequentially. So above search will search for documents
where token "states" is written after "united".
*Note* that since it checks tokens sequentially it may also find documents
where some non-tokenizable characters or stop words exist between "united"
and "states", e.g. - *united and states *(here "and" is a stop word).
TermQuery will work it the way you said in your reply, i.e. will search for
a token "united states" which is not what you want.
