## Class QueryTermExtractor

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.lucene.search.highlight.QueryTermExtractor

-     public final class QueryTermExtractor
      extends Object

  Utility class used to extract the terms used in a query, plus any weights. This class will not find terms for MultiTermQuery, TermRangeQuery and PrefixQuery classes so the caller must pass a rewritten query (see Query.rewrite) to obtain a list of expanded terms.
