It's reasonable that "block-major" won't find anything. "block-major-57" should match.
The split into block and major-57 will be because, from the javadocs for ClassicTokenizer, "Splits words at hyphens, unless there's a number in the token, in which case the whole token is interpreted as a product number and is not split.". So I guess it splits on the first hyphen but not the second. ClassicAnalyzer/Tokenizer is general purpose and will never meet everyone's requirement all the time. You could try a different analyzer, or build your own. That's what the javadoc recommends. -- Ian.
