You're right, Peter. I did some thorough testing today and I was very wrong. I'm now using MultiFieldQueryParser as Erik suggested.

I don't believe the following statement is accurate: > > The "contents" field searches on the entire document, > including all indexes. There is no default field named "contents" that automatically combines the contents of all your fields. As Erik mentioned, you need to create this field yourself and assign it a string value that is a concatenation of all the fields you want to have indexed. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
