Description
Please add to the JavaDocs that the QueryParser does not handle boolean preference with AND/OR. This confuses developers in the way the understand boolean terms with AND. As mentioned by [Uwe Schindler](http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-java-user/201201.mbox/%3C008c01ccca35%24190a3ac0%244b1eb040%24%40thetaphi.de%3E). This issue is connected with #4748.
