Simple Query Question

For some reason I am thinking I read somewhere that if you queried something
like:

"Eiffel Tower"

Lucene would execute the query "Eiffel AND Tower"

Basically I am trying to ask, does lucene automatically replaces spaces with
the AND operator?

Thanks
Dana

As Ian says, but you can set the default to AND or OR, see
the API docs.

The 'out of the box' default is OR.

See QueryParser.setDefaultOperator

No, lucene does not automatically replace spaces with AND.

See http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/queryparsersyntax.html
