Are you using WhitespaceAnalyzer BOTH at index and search time? If not
that is one problem, especially since, for instance, there is a comma after
Timaran,.
The two best things I've found are
1> make sure you have a copy of Luke and use it to examine your
index and see if what you *think* your index contains is actually what
it contains. You can also use Luke to see how queries parse using various
analyzers.
2> use query.toString() to see what your query looks like when you submit
it.
If neither of these help, could you post the briefest possible example that
illustrates the problem?
