If you're using the QueryParser, you just prefix the field-specific part with the field. For example, the query in your email should be submitted to the query parser as:
(Title:"baseball" OR Summary:"white sox") AND Publication_date:"199501 TO 200412" or if you're creating is programmatically, the constructor to the TermQuery takes a Term(field_name, search term) You'll hear this a million times if you're on this mailing list long enough, but buy Lucene in Action. The time you'll lose without it is far more costly than the $30 it'll cost to buy the book.
