It will probably be clearer if you don't use the pseudo-boolean operators, and just use + for required terms.
If you look at your output from debug, you see your query becomes: all_text:open +all_text:excel +presentation_id:294 +type:blob Note that "all_text:open" does not have a + sign, but "all_text:excel" has one. So "all_text:open" is not required, but "all_text:excel" is. I think this is because AND marks both of its operands as required. (which puts the + on +"all_text:excel"), but the open has no explicit op, so it uses OR, which marks that term as optional. What I would suggest you do is: opening excellent +presentation_id:294 +type:blob Which is think is much clearer. I think you could also do opening excellent presentation_id:294 AND type:blob but I think it's non-obvious how the result will differ from opening excellent AND presentation_id:294 AND type:blob So I wouldn't use either of the last two. Tom p.s. Not sure what is going on with the last lines of your debug output for the query. Is that really what shows up after presentation ID?
