Hi Franz, The likely problem is that you're using an index-time analyzer that strips out the parentheses. StandardAnalyzer, for example, does this; WhitespaceAnalyzer does not.
Remember that hits are the result of matches between index-analyzed terms and query-analyzed terms. Except in the case of synonyms, most people will want their index and query analyzers to be the same.

There are two documents one with value "(testvalue)" and one with value "test value". Now somone search with "test". My Searchenine uses the org.apache.lucene.search.PrefixQuery and finds 2 documents. Maybe he estimated only one hit; owever: if he searches for "(test" and the Searchengine uses the QueryParser.escape to clean the request and takes that PrefixQuery to search nothing results. How can I search for the document "(testvalue)" and only this one?
