## org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard
Class StandardTokenizer

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenStream
          org.apache.lucene.analysis.Tokenizer
              org.apache.lucene.analysis.standard.StandardTokenizer

    public class StandardTokenizer

extends Tokenizer

A grammar-based tokenizer constructed with JFlex

This should be a good tokenizer for most European-language documents:

- Splits words at punctuation characters, removing punctuation. However, a dot that's not followed by whitespace is considered part of a token.
- Splits words at hyphens, unless there's a number in the token, in which case the whole token is interpreted as a product number and is not split.
- Recognizes email addresses and internet hostnames as one token.

Many applications have specific tokenizer needs. If this tokenizer does not suit your application, please consider copying this source code directory to your project and maintaining your own grammar-based tokenizer.

Constructor Detail

### StandardTokenizer

    public StandardTokenizer(Reader input)

  Creates a new instance of the `StandardTokenizer`. Attaches the `input` to a newly created JFlex scanner.

### StandardTokenizer

    public StandardTokenizer(Reader input,
                             boolean replaceInvalidAcronym)

  Creates a new instance of the `StandardTokenizer`. Attaches the `input` to the newly created JFlex scanner.

  Parameters:
    `input` - The input reader
    `replaceInvalidAcronym` - Set to true to replace mischaracterized acronyms with HOST. See http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1068

Method Detail

### setMaxTokenLength

    public void setMaxTokenLength(int length)

  Set the max allowed token length. Any token longer than this is skipped.

### getMaxTokenLength

    public int getMaxTokenLength()

  See Also:
    `setMaxTokenLength(int)`

### next

    public Token next(Token result)
               throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TokenStream`
  Returns the next token in the stream, or null at EOS. When possible, the input Token should be used as the returned Token (this gives fastest tokenization performance), but this is not required and a new Token may be returned. Callers may re-use a single Token instance for successive calls to this method.

  This implicitly defines a "contract" between consumers (callers of this method) and producers (implementations of this method that are the source for tokens):

  - A consumer must fully consume the previously returned Token before calling this method again.
  - A producer must call `Token.clear()` before setting the fields in it & returning it
  Note that a `TokenFilter` is considered a consumer.

  Overrides:
    `next` in class `TokenStream`
  Parameters:
    `result` - a Token that may or may not be used to return
  Returns:
    next token in the stream or null if end-of-stream was hit
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### reset

    public void reset()
               throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `TokenStream`
  Resets this stream to the beginning. This is an optional operation, so subclasses may or may not implement this method. Reset() is not needed for the standard indexing process. However, if the Tokens of a TokenStream are intended to be consumed more than once, it is necessary to implement reset().

  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `TokenStream`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### reset

    public void reset(Reader reader)
               throws IOException

  Description copied from class: `Tokenizer`
  Expert: Reset the tokenizer to a new reader. Typically, an analyzer (in its reusableTokenStream method) will use this to re-use a previously created tokenizer.

  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `Tokenizer`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### isReplaceInvalidAcronym

    public boolean isReplaceInvalidAcronym()

  Deprecated. Remove in 3.X and make true the only valid value

  Prior to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1068, StandardTokenizer mischaracterized as acronyms tokens like www.abc.com when they should have been labeled as hosts instead.

  Returns:
    true if StandardTokenizer now returns these tokens as Hosts, otherwise false

### setReplaceInvalidAcronym

    public void setReplaceInvalidAcronym(boolean replaceInvalidAcronym)

  Deprecated. Remove in 3.X and make true the only valid value See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1068

  Parameters:
    `replaceInvalidAcronym` - Set to true to replace mischaracterized acronyms as HOST.
