  Description copied from interface: `Searchable`
  Get the `Document` at the `n`th position. The `FieldSelector` may be used to determine what `Field`s to load and how they should be loaded. NOTE: If the underlying Reader (more specifically, the underlying `FieldsReader`) is closed before the lazy `Field` is loaded an exception may be thrown. If you want the value of a lazy `Field` to be available after closing you must explicitly load it or fetch the Document again with a new loader.

  Specified by:
    `doc` in class `Searcher`
  Parameters:
    `n` - Get the document at the `n`th position
    `fieldSelector` - The `FieldSelector` to use to determine what Fields should be loaded on the Document. May be null, in which case all Fields will be loaded.
  Returns:
    The stored fields of the `Document` at the nth position
  Throws:
    `CorruptIndexException` - if the index is corrupt
    `IOException` - if there is a low-level IO error

                   throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Searchable`
  Expert: Low-level search implementation. Finds the top `n` hits for `query`, applying `filter` if non-null.

  Applications should usually call `Searcher.search(Query,int)` or `Searcher.search(Query,Filter,int)` instead.

  Specified by:
    `search` in interface `Searchable`
  Specified by:
    `search` in class `Searcher`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### search

    public TopFieldDocs search(Weight weight,
                               Filter filter,
                               int n,
                               Sort sort)
                        throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Searchable`
  Expert: Low-level search implementation with arbitrary sorting. Finds the top `n` hits for `query`, applying `filter` if non-null, and sorting the hits by the criteria in `sort`.

  Applications should usually call `Searcher.search(Query,Filter,int,Sort)` instead.

  Specified by:
    `search` in interface `Searchable`
  Specified by:
    `search` in class `Searcher`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### search

    public void search(Weight weight,
                       Filter filter,
                       Collector collector)
                throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Searchable`
  Lower-level search API.

  `Collector.collect(int)` is called for every document.
  Collector-based access to remote indexes is discouraged.

  Applications should only use this if they need all of the matching documents. The high-level search API (`Searcher.search(Query,int)`) is usually more efficient, as it skips non-high-scoring hits.

  Specified by:
    `search` in interface `Searchable`
  Specified by:
    `search` in class `Searcher`
  Parameters:
    `weight` - to match documents
    `filter` - if non-null, used to permit documents to be collected.
    `collector` - to receive hits
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### rewrite

    public Query rewrite(Query original)
                  throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Searchable`
  Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries.

  Specified by:
    `rewrite` in interface `Searchable`
  Specified by:
    `rewrite` in class `Searcher`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### explain

    public Explanation explain(Weight weight,
                               int doc)
                        throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Searchable`
  Expert: low-level implementation method Returns an Explanation that describes how `doc` scored against `weight`.

  This is intended to be used in developing Similarity implementations, and, for good performance, should not be displayed with every hit. Computing an explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the entire index.

  Applications should call `Searcher.explain(Query, int)`.

  Specified by:
    `explain` in interface `Searchable`
  Specified by:
    `explain` in class `Searcher`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### createNormalizedWeight

    public Weight createNormalizedWeight(Query original)
                                  throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Create weight in multiple index scenario. Distributed query processing is done in the following steps: 1. rewrite query 2. extract necessary terms 3. collect dfs for these terms from the Searchables 4. create query weight using aggregate dfs. 5. distribute that weight to Searchables 6. merge results Steps 1-4 are done here, 5+6 in the search() methods

  Overrides:
    `createNormalizedWeight` in class `Searcher`
  Returns:
    rewritten queries
  Throws:
    `IOException`
