-------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow SpanNearQuery to take a BooleanQuery.
                 Key: LUCENE-4696
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-4696
             Project: Lucene - Core
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: core/search
    Affects Versions: 4.0
            Reporter: Michel Conrad


Currently SpanNearQuery can only take other SpanQuery objects, which include spans, span term and span wrapped multi-term queries, but not Boolean queries.

By allowing a Boolean query to added to a SpanNearQuery, we can add f.i. queries
that come from a QueryParser and which can not be easily transformed in the corresponding span objects.

The main use case here is to find the intersection between two sets of results with the additional restriction that the matched terms from the different queries should be near one another.
