Lucene OR search using Boolean query

I have an index with multiple fields, one of which is a string field in which I store category names for a product... such as \"Electronics\", \"Home\", \"Garden\", etc

Answer 1

You can write like:

BooleanQuery categoryQuery = new BooleanQuery();
TermQuery catQuery1 = new TermQuery(new Term("category_name", "Electronics"));
TermQuery catQuery2 = new TermQuery(new Term("category_name", "Home"));
categoryQuery.add(new BooleanClause(catQuery1, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD));
categoryQuery.add(new BooleanClause(catQuery2, BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD));
bq.add(new BooleanClause(categoryQuery, BooleanClause.Occur.MUST));
