Method Detail

### collect

    public abstract void collect(int doc,
                                 float score)

  Called once for every document matching a query, with the document number and its raw score.

  If, for example, an application wished to collect all of the hits for a query in a BitSet, then it might:

         Searcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(indexReader);
         final BitSet bits = new BitSet(indexReader.maxDoc());
         searcher.search(query, new HitCollector() {
             public void collect(int doc, float score) {
               bits.set(doc);
             }
           });

  Note: This is called in an inner search loop. For good search performance, implementations of this method should not call `Searcher.doc(int)` or `IndexReader.document(int)` on every document number encountered. Doing so can slow searches by an order of magnitude or more.

  Note: The `score` passed to this method is a raw score. In other words, the score will not necessarily be a float whose value is between 0 and 1.
