A quick question. Is there any way to disable the - and + modifiers in the

Not currently.


I've had a bit of success by putting quotes around the offending names, (as
suggested on this list), but the results are still less than satisfactory,
(it removes the "NOT" from the query, but still treats DISP and NAME as two
separate words rather than one word and so the results are not quite
correct).

Treating them as two separate words when quoted is indicative of your analyzer not being sufficient for your domain. What Analyzer are you using? Do you have knowledge of what it is tokenizing text into?


Any ideas, or am I going to have to try and write my own query parser?

This is an open issue in Lucene. You and the community would be better served if you were able to fix the existing QueryParser and submit the fix back to us. Is it possible someone has already done this and it is pending in Bugzilla? (I haven't checked, searching Bugzilla with Safari doesn't work *sigh* - so it is a pain for me to do).
