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.
