You can combine queries . (such as your custom "TermQuery" + the result of a "QueryParser.Parse")

I can convert this text into a Query using just TermQuery and BooleanQuery: name:"ACME Produce" AND city:Anytown AND zip:90210 If I create the Query object on my own will I loose all the benefits from things like StandardAnalyzer? Is there a way I can submit an object graph to QueryParser so I can get the benefits of its analyzer without making it parse the raw string? My input is coming from well defined areas; its not free form where the user can enter anything they want. Can I use a StandardAnalyzer myself then take its output and create the appropriate Query objects then join all of them into a BooleanQuery? I'm using /tags/Lucene.Net_2_4_0.
