Class LetterTokenizer
A LetterTokenizer is a tokenizer that divides text at non-letters. That's to say, it defines tokens as maximal strings of adjacent letters, as defined by J2N.Character.IsLetter(System.Int32) predicate.
Note: this does a decent job for most European languages, but does a terrible job for some Asian languages, where words are not separated by spaces.
You must specify the required Lucene.Net.Util.LuceneVersion compatibility when creating LetterTokenizer:
- As of 3.1, CharTokenizer uses an System.Int32 based API to normalize and detect token characters. See IsTokenChar(Int32) and Normalize(Int32) for details.
