How to HACK ANts queries
************************

Since release beta0.2.6 ANts P2P uses Lucene as full text indexer.

This means you can perform queries in a very expressive way!

Let's make some examples...

The former way to process queries was made up of three components:

1) AND queries             ---> term1 + term2 (both terms are required to appear in any position)

2) OR queries              ---> term1   term2 (a terms is required to appear in any position)

3) Exact match queries     ---> "term1 term1" (an exact matching phrase has to appear in the file)

these three elements can be combined in any way...

So, what abou new features?
Now basically there is a bunch of different possible queries you can perform using special characters:

    * TermQuery          -> Single term queries (term1)
    * MultiTermQuery     -> Multiple term queries (term2)
    * BooleanQuery       -> Boolean queries (AND, OR etc...)
    * WildcardQuery      -> i.e. queries with * or ? and so on... (term*)
    * PhraseQuery        -> a complete phrase ("term1 term2")
    * FuzzyQuery         -> return words that don't match exactly your search words (telm~)
    * RangeQuery         -> [a TO z]   {A TO z]  etc. also with complex data (dates, numbers...)

IMPORTANT NOTE: IF YOU WANT TO USE LUCENE 
SYNTAX IN ANTS YOU MUST PUT YOUR QUERY BETWEEN 
DOUBLE QUOTES:

i.e.  "(term1 AND term2*) +term3"

DON'T FORGET the "___" CAUSE YOUR QUERIES WON'T WORK AND
YOU WILL RECEIVE VERY FEW RESULTS!
