There are (at least) two catches though: 1. The semantics of a QueryParser might change over time. For instance, today you might do "white b*" and it is a normal phrase query. This could gets saved off and in a later version of Lucene, the QueryParser is updated to parse it as a wildcard phrase query. 2. toString() doesn't always generate a query that the QueryParser can parse. Lucene Query objects do implement Serializable though so they can be serialised into a byte array. I do wonder how safe it is to do it though (if I serialise one from a really early version is it expected to serialise back in a much later version or does the Lucene backwards compatibility policy not cover serialisation?)
