If you search "A B" (with quotes) it is correct, but if you search only A B (without quotes) it is not correct, because, by default the query parser creates "OR" queries. So searching A B you will find all documents that contains A or B, while searching only A or only B you will normally find less documents! If you want to search all documents that contains A and B, you should write the query as +A +B (or change the default operator for query parser from OR to AND).
