Class FuzzyQuery
- Cloneable, java.io.Serializable
public final class FuzzyQuery
Implements the fuzzy search query. The similiarity measurement
is based on the Levenshtein (edit distance) algorithm.

FuzzyQuery
public FuzzyQuery(Term term,
float minimumSimilarity,
int prefixLength)
throws IllegalArgumentException Create a new FuzzyQuery that will match terms with a similarity
of at least minimumSimilarity to term.
If a prefixLength > 0 is specified, a common prefix
of that length is also required.
term - the term to search forminimumSimilarity - a value between 0 and 1 to set the required similarity
between the query term and the matching terms. For example, for a
minimumSimilarity of 0.5 a term of the same length
as the query term is considered similar to the query term if the edit distance
between both terms is less than length(term)*0.5prefixLength - length of common (non-fuzzy) prefix
getMinSimilarity
public float getMinSimilarity()
Returns the minimum similarity that is required for this query to match.
- float value between 0.0 and 1.0
getPrefixLength
public int getPrefixLength()
Returns the prefix length, i.e. the number of characters at the start
of a term that must be identical (not fuzzy) to the query term if the query
is to match that term.
toString
public String toString(String field)
Prints a user-readable version of this query.
- toString in interface MultiTermQuery
