Hi Tom, Let's open JIRA issue for this, we can add it. The gist of it, is that ICUTokenizer sets a ScriptAttribute (an integer) per token indicating its writing system. So its easy to make an efficient filter that basically only "shingles" on this attribute. The reason there isnt one, is because I'd really like for us to eventually somehow solve this with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2470 But for now, i think it would be good to be practical and add the explicit filter (we can just mark the api experimental, hoping we will make it more general with 2470) so people can easily get good out of box performance in situations like yours. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-user-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-user-h...@lucene.apache.org
