public final class QueryAutoStopWordAnalyzer
extends Analyzer

An Analyzer used primarily at query time to wrap another analyzer and provide a layer of protection which prevents very common words from being passed into queries.

For very large indexes the cost of reading TermDocs for a very common word can be high. This analyzer was created after experience with a 38 million doc index which had a term in around 50% of docs and was causing TermQueries for this term to take 2 seconds.

Use the various "addStopWords" methods in this class to automate the identification and addition of stop words found in an already existing index.
