Thanks Ivan.

I don't use Lucene directly, it is used behind the scene by the Neo4J graph
database for full-text indexing. According to their documentation for full
text indexes they use white space tokenizer in the analyser. Yes, I do get
Listing 2 first now. Though if I exclude the term "Takeaway" from the
search string, and just put "f...@company.com", I get Listing 1 first.

Meeraj
