Switching default parsing for Or and AND

[Mike Streeton <mi...@ardentia.co.uk>]

Is there a way of altering the way lucene parses a default string to use
AND instead of OR, e.g. usually "joe bloggs" is executed as "joe OR
bloggs", is there a flag to change this to "joe AND bloggs" which seems
to be the way most search engines work.

 

Thanks

 

Mike

Mike,

If you construct an instance of QueryParser you can set the default  
operator (see the javadocs).  Important: be sure to construct an  
instance and use the *instance* parse method rather than the  
static .parse method!
