public final class QueryTermExtractor
extends Object

Utility class used to extract the terms used in a query, plus any weights. This class will not find terms for MultiTermQuery, RangeQuery and PrefixQuery classes so the caller must pass a rewritten query (see Query.rewrite) to obtain a list of expanded terms.

Method Detail

getTerms

public static final WeightedTerm[] getTerms(Query query)

Extracts all terms texts of a given Query into an array of WeightedTerms

Parameters:

query - Query to extract term texts from

Returns:

an array of the terms used in a query, plus their weights.

getIdfWeightedTerms

public static final WeightedTerm[] getIdfWeightedTerms(Query query,
                                                       IndexReader reader,

Extracts all terms texts of a given Query into an array of WeightedTerms

Parameters:

query - Query to extract term texts from

reader - used to compute IDF which can be used to a) score selected fragments better b) use graded highlights eg chaning intensity of font color

fieldName - the field on which Inverse Document Frequency (IDF) calculations are based

Returns:

an array of the terms used in a query, plus their weights.

getTerms

public static final WeightedTerm[] getTerms(Query query,
