Try    category  name  Sport  and   author text    James Small

Use    category  name  Sport  and author text   1   James Small     or use    category  name  Sport  and author starts-with    James Small       It is a good rule to try to avoid using the    pseudo-operator whenever possible  because its evaluation can typically be very slow   Also     somename   is equivalent to   somename   so it is recommended to use the latter
