lucene Queries PhraseQuery

Example

PhraseQuery is used to search for a sequence of terms. The following matches the phrase "Hello World" (after being indexed with StandardAnalyzer)

Query query = new PhraseQuery.Builder()
        .add(new Term("text", "hello"))
        .add(new Term("text", "world"))
        .build();

PhraseQuery can also handle "slop", or extra terms within a query, by setting a maximum edit distance with setSlop. This will match "Lorem ipsum sit amet dolor":

Query query = new PhraseQuery.Builder()
        .add(new Term("text", "lorem"))
        .add(new Term("text", "amet"))
        .setSlop(2)
        .build();

You can also set exact position increments:

Query query = new PhraseQuery.Builder()
        .add(new Term("text", "lorem"), 0)
        .add(new Term("text", "sit"), 2)
        .add(new Term("text", "dolor"), 4)
        .build();
