+ before term is correct. in lucene term includes field and value.
Query ::= ( Clause )*
Clause ::= ["+", "-"] [<TERM> ":"] ( <TERM> | "(" Query ")" )
<#_TERM_CHAR: ( <_TERM_START_CHAR> | <_ESCAPED_CHAR> | "-" | "+" ) >
<#_ESCAPED_CHAR: "\\" ~[] >
in lucene query syntax, you can't express a term value including space.
you can use quotation mark but lucene will take it as a phrase query.
so you need escape space like title:hello\\ world
which will take "hello world" as a field value. and the analyzer then
will tokenize it. so you should use analyzer which can deal with
space. e.g. you can use keyword analyzer
as far as I know
