This is the first time I've had this error reported.  I would very  
much like to be supplied with a failing test case so that I can debug  
it.  That's an internal error, not a user error -- you should never  
see it.

BooleanQueries are used any time you need to join the results of a  
multiple term search.

If you have multiple indexed fields in your index, searching for a  
single string via...

  $searcher->search( query => 'foo' );

... actually results in a boolean query even if there's only a single  
word.  Something like this:

    'title:foo OR body:foo'
