                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2498
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: contrib/analyzers
            Reporter: Robert Muir


>From the discussion of LUCENE-2167:

It would be nice to have a CharFilter? to mark sentence boundaries.
Such functionality would be useful for:
* prevent phrase queries with 0 slop from matching across sentences
* inhibiting multiword synonyms, or shingles, etc.

For sentence boundary detection we could use Jflex's support for the Unicode 
Sentence_Break property etc,
and the UAX#29 definition as a default grammar.

One idea is to just mark the boundaries with a user-provided String.

As a simple use-case, a user could then add this string to a stopfilter, and it 
would introduce a position increment.
This would inhibit phrase queries, etc.

a user could use the sentence-markers to do more advanced processing downstream.
