I'm supposing that clucene's interface is like Java Lucene's as it is a 
faithful port. If so the stopword list is available.

For a fix that doesn't break backward compatibility. How about getting 
the stopword list from the analyzer and checking the query for those 
words. If any are found then gracefully fail the query, or merely delete 
them and potentially create a bad query, or ...
