NGramTokenizer
--------------

                 Key: LUCENE-3979
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3979
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: modules/analysis
    Affects Versions: 3.0, 2.9.2
         Environment: n/a
            Reporter: David Mason
            Priority: Minor


org.apache.lucene.analysis.ngram.NGramTokenizer removes whitespace, making a 
search for literal strings like " test" and "test " equivalent to "test". 
Searching with relevant whitespace is sometimes desired, particularly where 
ngrams are used.

This could be fixed by either removing .trim() from the line shown below, or by 
providing a flag to specifically set trimming behaviour (keeping trim=true as 
the default so that existing code using this analyzer is not broken).

111: inStr = new String(chars).trim();  // remove any trailing empty strings
