It's a fine line to add "easy" query object factory methods: - this single term query is often not enough - even when it is, are you doing a TermQuery, a FuzzyTermQuery (which fuzzy factor), a PrefixQuery or even why not a RangeQuery? where are you going to draw the line? I would rather see some DSL to build Lucene queries which I would like to work on for HSearch as soon as free time comes by.
