    public abstract class FilteredTermEnum

extends TermEnum

Abstract class for enumerating a subset of all terms.

Term enumerations are always ordered by Term.compareTo(). Each term in the enumeration is greater than all that precede it.

Constructor Summary
`FilteredTermEnum()`

Method Summary
`void` `close()` Closes the enumeration to further activity, freeing resources.
`abstract float` `difference()` Equality measure on the term
`int` `docFreq()` Returns the docFreq of the current Term in the enumeration.
`protected abstract boolean` `endEnum()` Indicates the end of the enumeration has been reached
`boolean` `next()` Increments the enumeration to the next element.
`protected void` `setEnum(TermEnum actualEnum)`
`Term` `term()` Returns the current Term in the enumeration.
`protected abstract boolean` `termCompare(Term term)` Equality compare on the term
