Classes in org.apache.lucene.search used by org.apache.lucene.search
AutomatonQuery A `Query` that will match terms against a finite-state machine.

BooleanClause.Occur Specifies how clauses are to occur in matching documents.
BooleanQuery A Query that matches documents matching boolean combinations of other queries, e.g.
BoostAttribute Add this `Attribute` to a `TermsEnum` returned by `MultiTermQuery.getTermsEnum(Terms,AttributeSource)` and update the boost on each returned term.
CachingCollector Caches all docs, and optionally also scores, coming from a search, and is then able to replay them to another collector.
CollectionStatistics Contains statistics for a collection (field)
Collector Expert: Collectors are primarily meant to be used to gather raw results from a search, and implement sorting or custom result filtering, collation, etc.
DisjunctionMaxQuery A query that generates the union of documents produced by its subqueries, and that scores each document with the maximum score for that document as produced by any subquery, plus a tie breaking increment for any additional matching subqueries.
DocIdSet A DocIdSet contains a set of doc ids.
DocIdSetIterator This abstract class defines methods to iterate over a set of non-decreasing doc ids.
DocTermOrdsRangeFilter A range filter built on top of a cached multi-valued term field (in `FieldCache`).

FieldCache.Parser Marker interface as super-interface to all parsers.
FieldCache.ShortParser Deprecated.
FieldCache.Shorts Field values as 16-bit signed shorts
FieldCacheRangeFilter A range filter built on top of a cached single term field (in `FieldCache`).
FieldComparator Expert: a FieldComparator compares hits so as to determine their sort order when collecting the top results with `TopFieldCollector`.
FieldComparator.NumericComparator Base FieldComparator class for numeric types
FieldComparatorSource Provides a `FieldComparator` for custom field sorting.
FieldDoc Expert: A ScoreDoc which also contains information about how to sort the referenced document.
FieldValueHitQueue Expert: A hit queue for sorting by hits by terms in more than one field.
FieldValueHitQueue.Entry Extension of ScoreDoc to also store the `FieldComparator` slot.
Filter Abstract base class for restricting which documents may be returned during searching.
FilteredDocIdSet Abstract decorator class for a DocIdSet implementation that provides on-demand filtering/validation mechanism on a given DocIdSet.
FilteredQuery.FilterStrategy Abstract class that defines how the filter (`DocIdSet`) applied during document collection.
FuzzyTermsEnum.LevenshteinAutomataAttribute reuses compiled automata across different segments, because they are independent of the index
IndexSearcher Implements search over a single IndexReader.
IndexSearcher.LeafSlice A class holding a subset of the `IndexSearcher`s leaf contexts to be executed within a single thread.
MaxNonCompetitiveBoostAttribute Add this `Attribute` to a fresh `AttributeSource` before calling `MultiTermQuery.getTermsEnum(Terms,AttributeSource)`.
MultiTermQuery An abstract `Query` that matches documents containing a subset of terms provided by a `FilteredTermsEnum` enumeration.
MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod Abstract class that defines how the query is rewritten.
MultiTermQueryWrapperFilter A wrapper for `MultiTermQuery`, that exposes its functionality as a `Filter`.

NumericRangeQuery A `Query` that matches numeric values within a specified range.
PhraseQuery A Query that matches documents containing a particular sequence of terms.
Query The abstract base class for queries.
ReferenceManager Utility class to safely share instances of a certain type across multiple threads, while periodically refreshing them.
ReferenceManager.RefreshListener Use to receive notification when a refresh has finished.
ScoreDoc Holds one hit in `TopDocs`.
Scorer Expert: Common scoring functionality for different types of queries.
Scorer.ChildScorer A child Scorer and its relationship to its parent.
ScoringRewrite Base rewrite method that translates each term into a query, and keeps the scores as computed by the query.
SearcherFactory Factory class used by `SearcherManager` to create new IndexSearchers.
SearcherLifetimeManager.Pruner See `SearcherLifetimeManager.prune(org.apache.lucene.search.SearcherLifetimeManager.Pruner)`.
