Two things.
1. There is a known bug related to field names immediately after a left
parenthesis, so insert a space between any left parenthesis and field name.
2. Purely negative expressions don't always work. insert "*:*" before any
purely negative expression.
So, for example, change:
((title:"test" OR title:"keywords") OR (description:"test" OR
to
(( title:"test" OR title:"keywords") OR ( description:"test" OR
Also, you can simplify (and fix):
AND (-title:"something" AND -tags:"something" AND -description:"something")
as:
AND (*:* -title:"something" -tags:"something" -description:"something")
Technically, I think you can enclose the entire positive portion of your
query in parens and then leave off the "AND (*:*", so that the negative
terms are part of the larger expression - and they generate a Lucene
BooleanQuery with one or more "MUST" clauses and the negative clauses.

Subject: Whys this query not working?
Hi,
I'm a bit baffled as to why this querys not working for me:
((title:"test" OR title:"keywords") OR (description:"test" OR
description:"keywords") OR (tags:"test" OR tags:"keywords")) AND
(-title:"something" AND -tags:"something" AND -description:"something") AND
(cat_id:"1") AND (private:"0")
If I remove the part:
AND (-title:"something" AND -tags:"something" AND -description:"something")
Then it works fine... but the stupid thing, is that there is NO place in
that result which as "something" as a value. Can anyone point me as to what
I'm doing wrong? Failing that, I'll have to remove the "prohibit" part of my
search system (which would be a shame) as its messing up queries that
*should* give results :(
TIA
Andy
