Couchdb-Lucene 0.8 '-' char to be encoded?

[Manokaran K]

Hi,

I just upgraded my application from Couchdb-Lucene 0.6 to 0.8. I observe
that when I query for docs with text fields with a '-' in it, say,
"2010-2011", I get all documents that has "2010" in it (I get documents
that have "2010-2011" as well as "2009-2010"). It was not so in 0.6! Do I
have to URL encode the '-' character?

thanks in advance,
mano
