Using QueryParser with a single field
Hi,
In my client application I allow the user to build a query by selecting a
field from a combobox and entering a value to search by.
I want the user to enter free text queries for each field, but I don't want
to parse it myself so I thought I'd use QueryParser for that. My problem is
that if the user will (for example) select a field called author and enter
the following text: 'John content:MyContent'
QueryParser will build a query for author:John OR content:MyContent. I want
QueryParser to ignore other fields.
Any method in QueryParser to allow that? If not - any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Eyal

There is no such switch in QueryParser to disable fielded queries. A
custom QueryParser would be needed to make this happen.
If you only need TermQuery and PhraseQuery you could do without
QueryParser altogether in this situation and process (not quite
"parse") the text fields by building up the appropriate query.
