Thanks shawn, I am already using the Boosting but the OR condition works for me
as you mentioned.
One question
If I used in search field "(TAGs)" , it is returning lot of Fields but if try
with the '(" something like "TAGs", it is getting less, why the " ( )" are
changing the results.? They won't take the exact match ..?
Let me know if I am missing something.
Thanks

This is more a matter of boosting than analysis.
If you are using edismax, this is particularly easy. Just put large boost
values on the fields in the pf parameter, and you'd likely want to use the same
field list as the qf parameter.
If you are not using edismax and can construct such a query yourself, you can
boost the phrase over the individual terms. Here's a sample query:
"Product Variant Name"^10 OR (Product Variant Name)
This is essentially what edismax will do with a boost on the pf values, except
that it will work with more than one field. The edismax parser is a wonderful
creation.
Thanks,
Shawn
