That is correct... fuzzy searches are only on a per-term basis.

If what you meant, though, was a phrase query ("full" near "name") you have to add an explicit slop factor like "full name"~5

Fuzzy Searches

Lucene supports fuzzy searches based on the Levenshtein Distance, or
Edit Distance algorithm. To do a fuzzy search use the tilde, "~", symbol
at the end of a Single word Term.


I haven't used fuzzy searches, but it seems to indicate that it can only
be used with single word terms. The query parser might have been written
to support that (the output indicates that as well).

You'll have to give us more information than that...

What is the problem you are seeing? I'll assume that you get no results.

Tell us of the structure of your documents and how you index every
field.

Concerning your syntax, if you are using the distributed query parser,
you don't need the + before name, nor the + before university as they
will be added by the parser.
