NAME

       Search::Xapian::TermGenerator - Parses a piece of text and generates terms.

DESCRIPTION

       This module takes a piece of text and parses it to produce words which are then used to
       generate suitable terms for indexing.  The terms generated are suitable for use with
       Search::Xapian::Query objects produced by the Search::Xapian::QueryParser class.

SYNOPSIS

         use Search::Xapian;

         my $doc = new Search::Xapian::Document();
         my $tg = new Search::Xapian::TermGenerator();
         $tg->set_stemmer(new Search::Xapian::Stem("english"));
         $tg->set_document($doc);
         $tg->index_text("The cat sat on the mat");

METHODS

       new TermGenerator constructor.

       set_stemmer <stemmer>
           Set the Search::Xapian::Stem object to be used for generating stemmed terms.

       set_stopper <stopper>
           Set the Search::Xapian::Stopper object to be used for identifying stopwords.

       set_document <document>
           Set the Search::Xapian::Document object to index terms into.

       get_document <document>
           Get the currently set Search::Xapian::Document object.

       index_text <text> [<weight> [<prefix>]]
           Indexes the text in string <text>.  The optional parameter <weight> sets the wdf
           increment (default 1).  The optional parameter <prefix> sets the term prefix to use
           (default is no prefix).

       index_text_without_positions <text> [<weight> [<prefix>]]
           Just like index_text, but no positional information is generated.  This means that the
           database will be significantly smaller, but that phrase searching and NEAR won't be
           supported.

       increase_termpos [<delta>]
           Increase the termpos used by index_text by <delta> (default 100).

           This can be used to prevent phrase searches from spanning two unconnected blocks of
           text (e.g. the title and body text).

       get_termpos
           Get the current term position.

       set_termpos <termpos>
           Set the current term position.

       get_description
           Return a description of this object.
