I have pairs of search strings, and I want to use Lucene to search for sentences that contain all terms that are contained in these strings. So for example if I have the two search strings "white shark" and "fish", I want all sentences containing both "white", "shark" and "fish". Apparently, with Lucene this can be done rather easily by means of a boolean query; this is how I do it in my code:
String search = str1+" "+ str2;
BooleanQuery booleanQuery = new BooleanQuery();
QueryParser queryParser = new QueryParser(...);
queryParser.setDefaultOperator(QueryParser.Operator.AND);
booleanQuery.add(queryParser.parse(search), BooleanClause.Occur.MUST);
However, I also have pairs of search strings where one string is a subpart of the other, such as e.g. "timber wolf" and "wolf", and in these cases I would like to only get sentences that contain "wolf" at least twice (and "timber" at least once). Is there any way to achieve this with Lucene? Many thanks in advance for your answers!
