: Ahh, but that is exactly what I don't want the DisjunctionMaxQuery to : do. I do not max scoring field per "word". Instead, I want it per : "phrase" which may be a single word or multiple words.
then you need to quote your enitre "q" param. (or escape all the white space and meta characters) : You may think "but i'm using dismax, why does dismax need to worry about : : that?" but the key to remember there is that if dismax didn't split on : whitespace prior to analysis, it wouldn't be able to build the : DisjunctionMaxQuery's that it uses to find the max scoring field per : "word" (which is the whole point of hte parser). -Hoss
