boost queries and functions are left out if they aren't specified ... but it looks like an empty "pf" (phrase fields) param causes an empty clause to be added ... i guess i assumed pf would always be used. the fix should be minor, i'll open a bug to track it, but the impact is pretty minor too ... the empty clause might through off scores because of hte coordFactory but honestly you should almost always be better off setting the pf to something so you can get higher scores for docs where all of the query terms appear in close proximity. -Hoss
