Hi,

I am building my query like this

String sentence="London";
QueryBuilder qb = fullTextSession.getSearchFactory().buildQueryBuilder().forEntity(xyz.class ).get();
qb.phrase().onField("city").boostedTo(10).sentence(sentence).createQuery();

The variable sentence will be populated by a form.

Question :

Supposing my end user enters a query like "London OR New York" the above query does not work . I would like to have end users enter that kind of strings and get boolean results.

How is it possible in Hibernate Search API. I am aware of how lucene does it by default but trying to use Hibernate DSL to do the same.

Thanks
D.

Hi,
when entering "London OR New York" you want to parse the meaning for OR. To do that, use a org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser to return a Query instance from the string.
Then you can combine different Query instances with the Query DSL, or run it directly.

For example you could after that parsing add additional clauses:
