The returned {@link DocIdSet} must refer to document IDs for that segment, not for the top-level reader. @param reader a {@link IndexReader} instance opened on the index currently searched on. Note, it is likely that the provided reader does not represent the whole underlying index i.e. if the index has more than one segment the given reader only represents a single segment.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
