## org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.analyzing
Class FuzzySuggester

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.Lookup
          org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.analyzing.AnalyzingSuggester
              org.apache.lucene.search.suggest.analyzing.FuzzySuggester

    public final class FuzzySuggester

extends AnalyzingSuggester

Implements a fuzzy `AnalyzingSuggester`. The similarity measurement is based on the Damerau-Levenshtein (optimal string alignment) algorithm, though you can explicitly choose classic Levenshtein by passing `false` for the `transpositions` parameter.

At most, this query will match terms up to 2 edits. Higher distances are not supported. Note that the fuzzy distance is measured in "byte space" on the bytes returned by the `TokenStream`'s `TermToBytesRefAttribute`, usually UTF8. By default the analyzed bytes must be at least 3 `DEFAULT_MIN_FUZZY_LENGTH` bytes before any edits are considered. Furthermore, the first 1 `DEFAULT_NON_FUZZY_PREFIX` byte is not allowed to be edited. We allow up to 1 (@link #DEFAULT_MAX_EDITS} edit.

NOTE: This suggester does not boost suggestions that required no edits over suggestions that did require edits. This is a known limitation.

Note: complex query analyzers can have a significant impact on the lookup performance. It's recommended to not use analyzers that drop or inject terms like synonyms to keep the complexity of the prefix intersection low for good lookup performance. At index time, complex analyzers can safely be used.

Constructor Detail

### FuzzySuggester

    public FuzzySuggester(Analyzer analyzer)

  Creates a `FuzzySuggester` instance initialized with default values.

  Parameters:
    `analyzer` - the analyzer used for this suggester

### FuzzySuggester

    public FuzzySuggester(Analyzer indexAnalyzer,
                          Analyzer queryAnalyzer)

  Creates a `FuzzySuggester` instance with an index & a query analyzer initialized with default values.

  Parameters:
    `indexAnalyzer` - Analyzer that will be used for analyzing suggestions while building the index.
    `queryAnalyzer` - Analyzer that will be used for analyzing query text during lookup

### FuzzySuggester

    public FuzzySuggester(Analyzer indexAnalyzer,
                          Analyzer queryAnalyzer,
                          int options,
                          int maxSurfaceFormsPerAnalyzedForm,
                          int maxGraphExpansions,
                          int maxEdits,
                          boolean transpositions,
                          int nonFuzzyPrefix,
                          int minFuzzyLength)

  Creates a `FuzzySuggester` instance.

  Parameters:
    `indexAnalyzer` - Analyzer that will be used for analyzing suggestions while building the index.
    `queryAnalyzer` - Analyzer that will be used for analyzing query text during lookup
    `options` - see `AnalyzingSuggester.EXACT_FIRST`, `AnalyzingSuggester.PRESERVE_SEP`
    `maxSurfaceFormsPerAnalyzedForm` - Maximum number of surface forms to keep for a single analyzed form. When there are too many surface forms we discard the lowest weighted ones.
    `maxGraphExpansions` - Maximum number of graph paths to expand from the analyzed form. Set this to -1 for no limit.
    `maxEdits` - must be >= 0 and <= `LevenshteinAutomata.MAXIMUM_SUPPORTED_DISTANCE` .
    `transpositions` - `true` if transpositions should be treated as a primitive edit operation. If this is false, comparisons will implement the classic Levenshtein algorithm.
    `nonFuzzyPrefix` - length of common (non-fuzzy) prefix (see default `DEFAULT_NON_FUZZY_PREFIX`
    `minFuzzyLength` - minimum length of lookup key before any edits are allowed (see default `DEFAULT_MIN_FUZZY_LENGTH`)
