you can just use the analyzer directly like this: Analyzer analyzer = new SnowballAnalyzer(Version.LUCENE_30, "English"); TokenStream stream = analyzer.tokenStream("title", new StringReader(fullQuery.toString()): CharTermAttribute termAttr = stream.addAttribute(CharTermAttribute.class); stream.reset(); BooleanQuery q = new BooleanQuery(); while(stream.incrementToken()) { q.addClause(new BooleanClause(Occur.MUST, new Term("title", termAttr.toString()))); } you also have access to the token positions if you want to create phrase queries etc. just add a PositionIncrementAttribute like this: PositionIncrementAttribute posAttr = stream.addAttribute(PositionsIncrementAttribute.class); pls. doublecheck the code it's straight from the top of my head. simon > > Like I said, this seems to kind of work but it doesn't feel right.
