Description

http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_4_1/queryparsersyntax.html#Fields says:

You can search any field by typing the field name followed by a colon ":" and then the term you are looking for.

This is slightly incomplete since the stuff after the fieldname can be a more complex query, not necessarily a term. For example,

title:(do it right)

seems to work when I tried it. It would be good if the doc was updated to describe the syntax exactly.

Also, "documentation" should be one of the components selectable in bug reports.
