    • Method Detail

      • tokenizeWords

        Token[] tokenizeWords​(java.lang.String str,
                              ITokenizer.StemmingMode stemmingMode)
        Breaks a string into word-only tokens. Numbers, tags, and other non-word tokens are NOT included in the result. Stemming can be used depending on the supplied ITokenizer.StemmingMode.

        This method is used to find fuzzy matches and glossary entries.

        Results can be cached for better performance.

      • tokenizeWordsToStrings

        java.lang.String[] tokenizeWordsToStrings​(java.lang.String str,
                                                  ITokenizer.StemmingMode stemmingMode)
        Breaks a string into word-only strings. Numbers, tags, and other non-word tokens are NOT included in the result. Stemming can be used depending on the supplied ITokenizer.StemmingMode.

        When stemming is used, both the original word and its stem may be included in the results, if they differ. (The stem will come first.)

        This method used for dictionary lookup.

        Results are not cached.

      • tokenizeVerbatim

        Token[] tokenizeVerbatim​(java.lang.String str)
        Breaks a string into tokens. Numbers, tags, and other non-word tokens are included in the result. Stemming is NOT used.

        This method is used to mark string differences in the UI and to tune similarity.

        Results are not cached.

      • tokenizeVerbatimToStrings

        java.lang.String[] tokenizeVerbatimToStrings​(java.lang.String str)
        Breaks a string into strings. Numbers, tags, and other non-word tokens are included in the result. Stemming is NOT used.

        This method is used to mark string differences in the UI and for debugging purposes.

        Results are not cached.

      • getSupportedLanguages

        java.lang.String[] getSupportedLanguages()
        Return an array of language strings (xx-yy) indicating the tokenizer's supported languages. Meant for tokenizers for which the supported languages can only be determined at runtime, like the HunspellTokenizer.

        Indicate that this should be used by setting the Tokenizer annotation to contain only Tokenizer.DISCOVER_AT_RUNTIME.
