Each Query object has getter methods for each of its fields. If a field is a
nested Query object, you will then have to recursively process it. Be
prepared to do lots of "instanceof" conditionals. None of this is hard, just
lots of dog work. Consult the Javadoc for the getter methods.
And when you write your instanceof conditionals, be sure to include an
"else" that displays the actual class name so that you can then add yet
another instanceof.
Now, what you are really looking for is the TermQuery, that has a field
name - that's what you want to change.
After you have called all of the getters, you create a new Query object of
the current type (the type you referenced in the "instanceof") and return
that new Query object. Recursion would return the new Query object.

Subject: Re: Forcing lucene to use specific field when processing parsed
query
Hi Uwe
Unfortunately, at the stage I am required to do this, I do not have the
query text. I only have the parsed query.
I thought of iterating through the query clauses etc but could not find how
to. What function allows me to do this ?

Hi,
You can only do this manually with instanceof checks and walking through
BooleanClauses.
The better way to fix your problem would be to change your query parser,
e.g. by overriding getFieldQuery and other protected methods to enforce a
specific field while parsing the query string.
