Hi Jan,
It makes sense what you said and I did expect the current out of the box search to function as you explained. So, I guess I need to modify how the search queries are built once the criteria is entered in the search box to accomplish the functionality that I'm expecting. Is this something within Lucene jar file that I need to modify? Or some where else entirely? I appreciate your quick and detailed responses on the previous questions. Thanks.
