Thanks Victor. I'll look into your earlier postings for the solution. But I was wandering, there might be many more scenarios what a user might search for.

This problem is similar to the recent thread. Search the archive the the following strings '-' characer not interpreted correctly in field names You may be able to implement similar solution to the one that I've posted. Actually your query got me interested, I've tried my solution for c-- and the -- signs are dropped. This because I define DASHESWORD as | <DASHESWORD: <ALPHANUM> ("-" <ALPHANUM>)+ > This will search for t-shirt, but not tshirt-. Yet another QueryParser peculiarity :) If you absolutely has to search for c++ then I suggest you define another token which encompasses all alpharnumeric word and plus sign. For example (modify StandardTokenizer.jj): <MYTOKEN: (<ALPHANUM>|"+")+ > add the line: token = <MYTOKEN> in the next() method. This may work. > c++ - (Parser throws an exception) [NOTE-1] As expected. > *c - (throws an exception - [NOTE-2] There has been a number of discussion on this subject, search the mailing list for more information. > Does that mean that the program should taken care of validating the > User input and then pass the query string to QueryParser? Depends how do you look at it. QueryParser will throw ParseException if it has parsing issues, you can in some way treat this as the validation.
