Your python example differs from the java example. The java one uses the call
that's commented out:
#query = queryParser.parse(queryString)
query = queryParser.parse(Version.LUCENE_CURRENT, queryString, fields,
[BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD,
BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD],
analyzer)
The problem is that the second form is a static method, so settings on the
parser object won't affect anything. Try it this way to reproduce the error:
query = MultiFieldQueryParser.parse(Version.LUCENE_CURRENT, queryString, fields,
[BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD,
BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD],
analyzer)
You should see the same behavior in java lucene.
