public final class StopFilter
extends FilteringTokenFilter

Removes stop words from a token stream.

You must specify the required Version compatibility when creating StopFilter:

• As of 3.1, StopFilter correctly handles Unicode 4.0 supplementary characters in stopwords and position increments are preserved

Constructor Detail

StopFilter

public StopFilter(Version matchVersion,
                  TokenStream in,
                  CharArraySet stopWords)

Constructs a filter which removes words from the input TokenStream that are named in the Set.

Parameters:

matchVersion - Lucene version to enable correct Unicode 4.0 behavior in the stop set if Version > 3.0. See above for details.

in - Input stream

stopWords - A CharArraySet representing the stopwords.

See Also:

makeStopSet(Version, java.lang.String...)

Method Detail

makeStopSet

public static CharArraySet makeStopSet(Version matchVersion,
                                       java.lang.String... stopWords)

Builds a Set from an array of stop words, appropriate for passing into the StopFilter constructor. This permits this stopWords construction to be cached once when an Analyzer is constructed.

Parameters:

matchVersion - Lucene version to enable correct Unicode 4.0 behavior in the returned set if Version > 3.0

stopWords - An array of stopwords

See Also:

passing false to ignoreCase

makeStopSet

public static CharArraySet makeStopSet(Version matchVersion,
                                       java.util.List<?> stopWords)

Builds a Set from an array of stop words, appropriate for passing into the StopFilter constructor. This permits this stopWords construction to be cached once when an Analyzer is constructed.

Parameters:

matchVersion - Lucene version to enable correct Unicode 4.0 behavior in the returned set if Version > 3.0

stopWords - A List of Strings or char[] or any other toString()-able list representing the stopwords

Returns:

A Set (CharArraySet) containing the words

See Also:

passing false to ignoreCase

makeStopSet

public static CharArraySet makeStopSet(Version matchVersion,
                                       java.lang.String[] stopWords,
                                       boolean ignoreCase)

Creates a stopword set from the given stopword array.

Parameters:

matchVersion - Lucene version to enable correct Unicode 4.0 behavior in the returned set if Version > 3.0

stopWords - An array of stopwords

ignoreCase - If true, all words are lower cased first.

Returns:

a Set containing the words

makeStopSet

public static CharArraySet makeStopSet(Version matchVersion,
                                       java.util.List<?> stopWords,
                                       boolean ignoreCase)

Creates a stopword set from the given stopword list.

Parameters:

matchVersion - Lucene version to enable correct Unicode 4.0 behavior in the returned set if Version > 3.0

stopWords - A List of Strings or char[] or any other toString()-able list representing the stopwords

ignoreCase - if true, all words are lower cased first

Returns:

A Set (CharArraySet) containing the words
