FuzzyLikeThis is effectively the same as MoreLikeThis but adds fuzzy variations
for the selected terms.
>>Will it only use the first 3 terms or what?
It works the same way as MoreLikeThis in that it is selective about which input
terms are used for querying - words like "the" will typically get ignored.
So, given the input terms "accommodation in the Brecon beacons" the terms
selected for querying are likely to be:
accommodation - accomodation - accommadation - accomadation
brecon - breacon - breckon - bracken
beacons - beacon
This list of terms is then is shortlisted to the maxNumTerms value.
Unlike standard FuzzyQuery the rare term variations (i.e. the misspellings)
will not be boosted above the hopefully more common correct spelling due to
their IDF.
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Mark

Subject: FuzzyLikeThisQuery what does maxNumTerms mean
Hello all,
I am new to lucene and want to use the FuzzyLikeThisQuery.
I have read the documentation for this class, and read the following for
what maxNumTerms means:
"maxNumTerms - The total number of terms clauses that will appear once
rewritten as a BooleanQuery".
In addition in the classes documentation it reads:
"Fuzzifies ALL terms provided as strings and then picks the best n
differentiating terms"
1) I want to understand if the meaning of "n" in "the best n
differentiating terms" refers to maxNumTerms .
2) I want to understand how does this number affect the query built for this
scenario:
FuzzyLikeThisQuery fuzzyLikeThisQuery = new FuzzyLikeThisQuery(3, new
StandardAnalyzer());
fuzzyLikeThisQuery.addTerms("tem1 term2 term3 term4", fieldName, 0.75f, 2);
If the number of maxNumTerms = 3, how will this affect the query built. Will
it only use the first 3 terms or what?
Thanks in advance.
