: I need to do a search that will search 3 different fields and combine : the results. First, it needs to not break the phrase into tokens, but : rather treat it is a phrase for one field. The other fields need to be : parsed with their normal analyzers.
your description of your goal is a little vague ... it's certianly possible to construct an "exact phrase" query w/o tokenizing (assuming your index contains whole phrases as individual terms), but strictly speaking then you don't need a PhraseQuery, you just need a TermQuery - but it's not clear if that's what you mean. : 1. Ran the query through my custom analyzer and then created a : PhraseQuery and then did a search what did your custom analyzer do? how did you construct the PhraseQuery? (specificly: what did you do differnetly then if you have given QueryParser your analyzer and an input string that contained a quoted string) : 3. Combined the results of (1) and (2) into a Set and returned them. combined in what way? in what order? what types of scoring was used? : How can do the same thing in Solr? it's hard to give you an answer with all the variables left up in the air -- but my best guess would be that you should just define your three fields, and give them analyzers that "do what you want" then use the dismax query parser with all three fields listed in the "qf" param, but make sure the "q" param is always a quoted string (ie q="your query string") -Hoss
