Hi Mike, I think the problem is grouping. If you have a query A AND B OR C, it will be grouped as A AND (B OR C) and not as you expected as (A AND B) OR C. Just put parentheses in your query and you get the result that you want.

The documentation for Lucene 3.2 query syntax says the following about boolean OR queries: "The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. This is equivalent to a union using sets." I have performed several queries on my index and the output does not reflect the description. I always get the first-wins-set instead of a united set. These are my separate test results: 1. schluessel:23????? => 286 documents 2. vorgklasse:au AND schluessel:13????? => 2532 documents If I do: vorgklasse:au AND schluessel:13????? OR schluessel:23????? It should unite both sets and output them. I still get 2532 documents back. Exactly those from the second query. Am I not supposed to get 2532 + 286 = 2818? This is what I expect as result set. Am I missing something here? If I group the query like this (vorgklasse:au AND sch luessel:13?????) OR schluessel:23????? I do get the expected result. But both queries should be equivalent. Thanks, Mike PS: search output is avaible as CSV at request -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!
