Subject: Re: Not able to retrieve hits for a phrase

PhraseQuery needs terms that match what got indexed, simple as that.   
QueryParser does this for you by using the specified analyzer on the  
"phrase text" within double quotes and creating a PhraseQuery out of  
the tokens.  When you're creating a PhraseQuery directly with the  
API, you need to be aware of how things are indexed in order to  
ensure that any normalization, such as lowercasing, that occurs  
during indexing also occurs on the text you're searching with.

Most frequently, to search without case sensitivity the text is  
lowercased during indexing, and also during searching.   
StandardAnalyzer lowercases, as do almost all analyzers you'll find  
in the core (except WhiteSpaceAnalyzer).
