Multiple Field Queries

Hello,
at the moment i cannot search through the mailinglist archives so i will 
bother you. I will search over multiple fields for example content and 
filename. The MultiFieldQueryParser is not applicable for me so i create 
the query syntax programmatically. The querystring is parsed with the 
QueryParser i use it in this example two times for content and filename 
the resulting query. Then i combine them with BooleanQuery add the 
resulting string is for example +content:test +filename:test. The 
problem here is i would like to construct a query like (+content:test) 
OR (+filename:test). Is the only alternative to extend the boolean query 
to the string and make some string operations above it and pass it 
through the QueryParser again?
Thanks
Stefan

thanks
add(query,false,false) works now. The failure was because i added a 
field to all documents for searching with a datefile. therefore there 
were always all documents returned.

Perhaps i misunderstand but it seems to me that if you execute the add 
with two times a false value you will end up with the required result.

(content:test) (filename:test)

which is equivalent to your requested query.

hope this helps,
Aad Nales
