Sanraj - did you reindex after adjusting the value of positionIncrementGap? It is an index-time factor.

Hi,
Thanks Erik .I am clear.But when I checked with multiValued=true for a
single field ,I gave
positionIncrementGap=100.That time also mismatch. for ex,

author: John Doe
author: Bob Smith

a phrase query of "doe bob" now matched even i specified
positionIncrementGap=100.again I changed
positionIncrementGap=0.Now also doe bob matched.may I give 200 or 300 to
that value? give some suggestions.

Thanks

Suppose a document has a multi-valued "author" field.   Like this:

author: John Doe
author: Bob Smith

With a position increment gap of 0, a phrase query of "doe bob" would
be a match. But often it is undesirable for that kind of match across different field values. A position increment gap controls the virtual space between the last token of one field instance and the first token of the next instance. With a gap of 100, this prevents phrase queries
(even with a modest slop factor) from matching across instances.
