Thanks for the reply!
The perl docs state that there are defaults:

"
parse_query <query_string> [<flags>]

    parses the query string according to the rules defined in the
query parser documentation below. Allows you to specify certain flags
to modify the searching behaviour:

      FLAG_BOOLEAN=1, FLAG_PHRASE=2, FLAG_LOVEHATE=4,
      FLAG_BOOLEAN_ANY_CASE=8, FLAG_WILDCARD = 16

    default flags are FLAG_PHRASE, FLAG_BOOLEAN and FLAG_LOVEHATE
"

Whether that's correct or not I'm not sure :)

Thanks,
Eric
