If you are using the standard request handler, the default operator is OR (I assume you didn't use quotes in your query). You can switch the default operator to AND, but I'd recommend starting with dismax instead... it defaults to AND (100% terms required) and does proximity boosts (when terms are near each other.) -Yonik
