Question

I am doing a free text search on my Lucene index using MultiFieldQueryParser on 2 fields, this works fine. Below is how I am building the search query:

var searchParser = new MultiFieldQueryParser(_currentLuceneVersion, new[] { _titleField, _bodyField }, _standardAnalyzer);
Query searchQuery = searchParser.Parse(searchText);

I have now added a new field, which is a boolean (1 or 0 as string), and I want my original search to do a boolean filter on the original free text search.

I am thinking that this must be done using a BooleanQuery and then doing a combine with the original MultiFieldQueryParser and the new BooleanQuery.

Is that right way to go about doing this?

Example of a QueryFilter for a ‘false’ value

QueryFilter falseFilter = new QueryFilter(new TermQuery(new Term("BOOL_FIELD", "0")));
searcher.search(query, falseFilter, maxResults);
