Read my own complaints about QueryParser here:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=lucene-user&m=116069469827270&w=2

You're in for a surprise. As alluded by Erick, the stock QP doesn't quite do
what one (legitimately IMO) expects.

These are not boolean operators, which is often confusing. See the thread

"*Another problem with the QueryParser*"

for an exposition by Chris about how these operate. This may change what you
expect to come back from the parser... If it doesn't, then maybe someone
else can chime in <G>...
