AND and + does the same, so:
+(Australia AND tagname:country) +(20020415 AND tagname:date)
should return a set with documents everything are mached, basicly the same as:
Australia AND tagname:country AND 20020415 AND tagname:date

(Austalia AND 20020415) (HongKong AND 20020315)

+(Austalia AND 20020415) -(HongKong AND 20020315)

for the date you should use the Field.Date field type, but i don't think here
is a shortcut to also filter with subscribers without doing something weird
like adding say 3000 years to all dates that has been subscribed and then
search for dates between 30020102 -> 30020330....
if you don't think this is a good idea (chances are that your system is not
going to be used for more than a millenia) you can just use a SUBSCRIBED
field to the index and seach for things that maches date AND subscribe=???.
lucene is quite fast even for large indexes so it should performe good
anyhow....
happy hacking!
