hi,
I am some problems making my lucene search work

Following is the code
String[] fields = new String[] {"name","description","priority"};
String searchString = "name:" + crt.getSearchString() + " OR description:" + crt.getSearchString() + " OR priority:" + crt.getSearchString() + " AND project.id:" + projectId.toString();
org.apache.lucene.search.Query luceneQuery = null;
luceneQuery = parser.parse(searchString);
Query fullTextQuery = fullTextSession.createFullTextQuery(luceneQuery, ABC.class, DEF.class, GHI.class, XYZ.class);
List entitylist = fullTextQuery.list();

Name and description are string properties and priority is a long property.
When I enter a search term for priority the above code works fine and I get the desired result, but if I search for name or description I do not get any result.
If I change the searchString by removing the priority from the search then I get the desired results for both name and description
String searchString = "name:" + crt.getSearchString() + " OR description:" + crt.getSearchString() + " AND project.id:" + projectId.toString();

I am not sure why this would happen. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Cherian

Are you not missing grouping brackets - something like (name OR description OR priority) AND projectId?
See also Lucene query syntax - http://lucene.apache.org/java/3_0_2/que ... yntax.html

Than you Hardy the brackets solved the issue.
