now, one more question: what are the big performance hits from using a
FuzzyQuery. what are some bad cases to use it(eg. many words in the
phrase? long strings? ) would it be better to read up on the Levenshtein
algorithm or to get into the internals of Lucene and compare what is
done in FuzzyQuery as opposed to something simpler like PhraseQuery
To do a FuzzyQuery, *every* term in the field needs to be enumerated and checked. This may or may not be a problem depending on the size of your index, but it is definitely worth noting.
What are you trying to accomplish?
