What if the query is '+strong force' and 'strong' is tokenized into
'strong' and the alias 'tough' ? Will the query parser convert it to
'+(strong OR tough) force' ?

Isn't the double quote notation "term term" indicates a phrase ? If so,
translating '+strong will' to +("strong tough") (a phrase) does not seem
right since
you now require both 'strong' and 'tough' to appear in indexed document and
in that order. I think the geenrated multi terms should have an OR relation.

The FAQ is aimed at programmers that embed Lucene in there application and
not
at their end users.
