All Implemented Interfaces:
  Cloneable

    public class NGramPhraseQuery

extends PhraseQuery

This is a `PhraseQuery` which is optimized for n-gram phrase query. For example, when you query "ABCD" on a 2-gram field, you may want to use NGramPhraseQuery rather than `PhraseQuery`, because NGramPhraseQuery will `rewrite(IndexReader)` the query to "AB/0 CD/2", while `PhraseQuery` will query "AB/0 BC/1 CD/2" (where term/position).

Constructor Summary
`NGramPhraseQuery(int n)` Constructor that takes gram size.

Method Summary
`boolean` `equals(Object o)` Returns true iff `o` is equal to this.
`int` `hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for this object.
`Query` `rewrite(IndexReader reader)` Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries.

    public NGramPhraseQuery(int n)

  Constructor that takes gram size.

  Parameters:
    `n` - n-gram size

Method Detail

### rewrite

    public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
                  throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Query`

  Overrides:
    `rewrite` in class `PhraseQuery`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object o)

  Returns true iff `o` is equal to this.

    `equals` in class `PhraseQuery`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Returns a hash code value for this object.

  Overrides:
