I don't see a problem with your booleanANDSearch thingy, although I haven't tried it.
Does toString() return the same string regardless of the value of booleanANDSearch? That would surprise me. The default is OR, so the toString output looks like booleanANDSearch is false. In general, the Lucene syntax is no symbol SHOULD + MUST - MUST_NOT If this doesn't help, could you give us the toString for your query1 and query2?
