No, you can't rely on Query.toString() roundtripping (think stemming, for
example - but many other examples that won't work that way too).
What you can do, since you know Lucene's API well, is write a QParser(Plugin)
that takes request parameters as strings and generates the Query from that like
you are now with your Lucene app.
