Returns a BitSet with true for documents which should be permitted in search results, and false for those that should not.

Expert: Resets the counting of unique terms. Do this before executing the filter.

Expert: Return the number of unique terms visited during execution of the filter. If there are many of them, you may consider using another filter type or optimize your total term count in index.
