Class SlowFuzzyQuery

Implements the classic fuzzy search query. The similarity measurement is based on the Levenshtein (edit distance) algorithm.

Note that, unlike Lucene.Net.Search.FuzzyQuery, this query will silently allow for a (possibly huge) number of edit distances in comparisons, and may be extremely slow (comparing every term in the index).

Syntax

[Obsolete("Use FuzzyQuery instead.")]
public class SlowFuzzyQuery : MultiTermQuery

Constructors

SlowFuzzyQuery(Term)

Calls SlowFuzzyQuery(Term, Single).

Declaration

public SlowFuzzyQuery(Term term)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lucene.Net.Index.Term	term

SlowFuzzyQuery(Term, Single)

Calls SlowFuzzyQuery(Term, Single).

Declaration

public SlowFuzzyQuery(Term term, float minimumSimilarity)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lucene.Net.Index.Term	term
System.Single	minimumSimilarity

SlowFuzzyQuery(Term, Single, Int32)

Calls SlowFuzzyQuery(Term, Single).

Declaration

public SlowFuzzyQuery(Term term, float minimumSimilarity, int prefixLength)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lucene.Net.Index.Term	term
System.Single	minimumSimilarity
System.Int32	prefixLength

SlowFuzzyQuery(Term, Single, Int32, Int32)

Create a new SlowFuzzyQuery 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.

Declaration

public SlowFuzzyQuery(Term term, float minimumSimilarity, int prefixLength, int maxExpansions)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Lucene.Net.Index.Term	term	the term to search for
System.Single	minimumSimilarity	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)*0.5 Alternatively, if minimumSimilarity is >= 1f, it is interpreted as a pure Levenshtein edit distance. For example, a value of 2f will match all terms within an edit distance of 2 from the query term. Edit distances specified in this way may not be fractional.
System.Int32	prefixLength	length of common (non-fuzzy) prefix
System.Int32	maxExpansions	the maximum number of terms to match. If this number is greater than MaxClauseCount when the query is rewritten, then the maxClauseCount will be used instead.

Exceptions

Type	Condition
System.ArgumentException	if minimumSimilarity is >= 1 or < 0 or if prefixLength < 0

Fields
