Searching both phrase and it's words

Hi,
Suppose we have a query "balcony table". I want results to be returned by
exact match (first priority) and by single words matching as well (for
"balcony" or for "table"). So currently my solution is:

Analyzer analyzer = new SnowballAnalyzer("English",
StopAnalyzer.ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS_SET);
            QueryParser contentParser = new QueryParser(Version.LUCENE_29,
"content", analyzer);

            Query phraseContentQuery =
contentParser.Parse("\""+QueryParser.Escape(luceneQuery)+"\"");

            if (phraseContentQuery is PhraseQuery)
            {
                ((PhraseQuery)phraseContentQuery).SetSlop(100);
            }

            Query simpleParsedQuery =
contentParser.Parse(QueryParser.Escape(luceneQuery));

            BooleanQuery boolQuery = new BooleanQuery();

            boolQuery.Add(simpleParsedQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD);
            boolQuery.Add(phraseContentQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD);

            TopDocs docs = searcher.Search(boolQuery, 1500);
            ScoreDoc[] hits = docs.scoreDocs;

Is it the right way?
Is there another way, without running two queries (simpleParsedQuery and
phraseContentQuery)?

Thanks!

Maxim

Re: Searching both phrase and it's words

You didn't show us your "luceneQuery", but the gist of the solution is to 
use MUST clauses for each of the individual terms and then a SHOULD of the 
phrase. You can add an additional boost to the phrase, but lucene should 
naturally boost documents containing the phrase.
