How do i search 'and' with lucene?

Are you including 'and' in the index so its searchable?

If your using the StandardAnalyzer to index your documents, 'and' is included in the default stop words list. You can pass your own list of stop words as a string array to the constructor of the StandardAnalyzer if you want to include the word 'and' in the index.

Have you tried AND in all caps?

If you want to do an AND search, you have a couple options. You can do

+foo +bar

or

foo AND bar

but

foo and bar

will not work.
