Best way to Use SHOULD and MUST Clauses

[Vaijanath Rao <va...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I need to create a boolean query with MUST clause as well as SHOULD Clause.
The result I get is the one which has MUST Clause but there are no SHOULD
Clause present.
I need something like the following
+term:abc +loc:nyc and one of the ngrams for spell check like spell:co,
spell:cor and so on

Currently if include them as one BooleanQuery I get the doc maching the must
clause on top but does not have any of the spell field used. So I tried to
used setMinimumNumberShouldMatch(1), which causes no documents to match.

I tried the following approaches

Approach : 1
a. All Must Terms in one BooleanQuery
b. All SpellTerms as Should in Second BooleanQuery
c. FinalQuery as MustBooleanQuery and SpellBooleanQuery ( both added as
Must) : output no results found

Approach : 2
a. All Must Terms in One BooleanQuery
b. All SpellTerms added as Should Clauses to finalQuery
c. Adding MustBooleanQuery to finalQuery : Top record match found only has
Must part and no should clauses

Approach :3
Same as 2 but with setMinimumNumberShouldMatch(1), so that atleast one
spellTerms is matched : Output is no result found

Approach :4
a. Add All Must terms into finalquery as Must Clause
b.All SpellTerms added as Should Clauses to finalQuery
c.Result: Top record match found only has Must part and no should clauses

Approach :5
Same as 4 but with setMinimumNumberShouldMatch(1)
c.Result: No Result Found

I am calling TopDocs = searcher.search(finalQuery,MAX_HITS); in all the
above cases and using Lucene 3.0.2

Can someone help me in getting this query right to get atleast one spellterm
to be matched with the document.

Hi All,

Sorry just ignore this mail, did not realize I was hitting a different index
and looking at different index all together.
It's working like it should be.
