Hi, I know the indexed content contains the following text: "This is a test". And the search phrase I used is "This is a formal test", and then I set the slop of the PhraseQuery as 2 with setSlop(2), but I found that I can not get a search result. If I set the search phrase as "This is formal test", then I can get the search result.
So what is the problem here, thanks in advance. Attached is the Java doc for the setSlop method: public void *setSlop*(int s) Sets the number of other words permitted between words in query phrase. If zero, then this is an exact phrase search. For larger values this works like a WITHIN or NEAR operator. The slop is in fact an edit-distance, where the units correspond to moves of terms in the query phrase out of position. For example, to switch the order of two words requires two moves (the first move places the words atop one another), so to permit re-orderings of phrases, the slop must be at least two. More exact matches are scored higher than sloppier matches, thus search results are sorted by exactness. The slop is zero by default, requiring exact matches.
