QueryParser AND default operator and MultiWords synonyms failed if keywords exactly matches a synonym

    Description

      This issue is about using the QueryParser with MultiWordsSynonyms.

      To reproduce the bug:

      • Use AND as default operator
      • Use a query string which exactly matches one synonym.

      In short, the part of the query which handle the synonym lookup should keep a "OR" relation between the synonyms, but it is translated as a "AND".

      If I parse: "guinea pig" which is a synonym of "cavy":

      Using default OR, I get something correct:
      "(+guinea +pig) cavy"

      Note: I should probably better have ((+guinea +pic) cavy)

      Using AND as default operator, I get something wrong:
      +(+guinea +pig) +cavy

      I was expected:
      +((+guinea +pig) cavy)

      The relation between "guinea pig" and "cavy" is now a AND. It should be still a OR because it is a synonym clause.

      To help understanding. If now I parse "guinea pig world"
      And I get the expected result:
      +((+guinea +pig) cavy) +world

      The relation between "guinea pig" and "cavy" is a OR as expected (it is a synonym), and the relation with "world" is AND as expected by the default operator.

      Here is the additional unit test for, I hope it is pretty self-explanatory:
      org.apache.lucene.queryparser.classic.TestQueryParser

      public void testDefaultOperatorWhenKeywordsMatchesExactlyOneSynonym() throws ParseException {
          // Using the default OR operator
          QueryParser smart = new QueryParser("field", new Analyzer1());
          smart.setSplitOnWhitespace(false);
          smart.setDefaultOperator(Operator.OR);
          assertEquals("(+guinea +pig) cavy", smart.parse("guinea pig").toString("field"));
      
          // Using the default AND operator
          smart = new QueryParser("field", new Analyzer1());
          smart.setSplitOnWhitespace(false);
          smart.setDefaultOperator(Operator.AND);
          assertEquals("+((+guinea +pig) cavy) +world", smart.parse("guinea pig world").toString("field"));
      
          // Using the default AND operator
          smart = new QueryParser("field", new Analyzer1());
          smart.setSplitOnWhitespace(false);
          smart.setDefaultOperator(Operator.AND);
          assertEquals("+((+guinea +pig) cavy)", smart.parse("guinea pig").toString("field"));
        }
