For the sake of simplicity, I am trying to convert a single  
SpanTermQueryBuilder to a TermQueryBuilder. What is the simplest way  
to achieve this goal, without going to JSON and back?

Cheers,

Ivan

Nothing jumps to mind, there isn't a getter for the relevant values...

I figured as much! No harm using a SpanTermQuery, just wanted to get  
my queries as simple as possible.
