    Description

      When a SpanTermQuery is added to a BooleanQuery, incorrect results are
      returned.

      I am running Lucene 1.9 RC1 on Windows XP. I have a test case which has
      several tests. It has an index with 4 identical documents in it.

      When two TermQuerys are used in a BooleanQuery, the score looks like this:
      4 hits for search: two term queries
      ID:1 (score:0.54932046)
      ID:2 (score:0.54932046)
      ID:3 (score:0.54932046)
      ID:4 (score:0.54932046)

      Notice how it is correctly setting the score to be the same for each document.

      When two SpanQuerys are used in a BooleanQuery, the score looks like this:
      2 hits for search: two span queries
      ID:1 (score:0.3884282)
      ID:4 (score:0.1942141)

      Notice how it only returned two documents instead of four. And the two it did
      return have differing scores.

      I believe that there is an error in the scoring algorithm that is making the
      other two documents not show up.
