Apologies for starting a new thread again, my mailing list subscription didn't finalize till later than Yonik's response.
Using "Field1:Val1 AND (*:* NOT Field2:Val2)" works, thanks. Does my original query "Field1:Value1 AND (NOT Field2:Val2)" fall into "need the *:* trick if all of the clauses of a boolean query are negative" case?. It does seem to have a positive and negative match attributes? can you please elaborate. Thanks for quick responses, you guys are awesome.

Parser:StandardQueryParserMy Query: Field1:Val1 NOT Field2:Val2Resolved as: Field1:Val1 -Field2:Val2 The above query never returns any document, no matter how we use a paranthesis. I did see some suggestions on LuceneQParser to use something like:*:* Field1:Val1 -Field2:Val2 This seems to return some documents, however it seems to ignore the first condition (Field1:Val1), Please help. ThanksVis
