Yes. Our in-house example is the movie title "The Sound Of Music". Given in quotes as a phrase this will pull up "anystopword Sound anystopword Music". For example, "A Sound With Music". Your example is also a test case of ours. For some Lucenicious reason "six stopwords in a row" does not find anything.
We solved this problem by making a separate indexed field with a simplified text type: no stopwords. Phrase searches go against the 'rawfield' and word searches go against it first. You may want to also filter out punctuation or "Sound Of Music" will not bring up "Sound Of Music!"

Is there any documentation that discusses the interaction of stop words and phrase queries? Thanks. Phil
