You don't say what is the analyzer you are using, by default i think that standartanalyzer is used, i think that the same analyzer is being used by luke and your indexer, but as you are creating the query programatically the content is not analyzed, the terms are different.

You could use luke to know what terms you have indexed, and how the query is rewrited once it has pased the analyzerfor example, your query : +url:"http://some.website.com/" +contentlength:1234 is rewriten with the standardanalyzer to (notice the lack of "://") : +url:"http some.website.com" +contentlength:1234 On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 6:57 AM, Mark Cottman-Fields <markcf@qpac.com.au> wrote: > Hi All > > I'm currently testing a lucene.net index for a website.
