  - ### getDefaultOperator

    public QueryParser.Operator getDefaultOperator()
    Gets implicit operator setting, which will be either AND_OPERATOR or OR_OPERATOR.

  - ### setMultiTermRewriteMethod

    public void setMultiTermRewriteMethod(MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod method)
    Description copied from interface: `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`
    By default QueryParser uses `MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_BLENDED_REWRITE` when creating a `PrefixQuery`, `WildcardQuery` or `TermRangeQuery`. This implementation is generally preferable because it a) Runs faster b) Does not have the scarcity of terms unduly influence score c) avoids any `IndexSearcher.TooManyClauses` exception. However, if your application really needs to use the old-fashioned `BooleanQuery` expansion rewriting and the above points are not relevant then use this to change the rewrite method. As another alternative, if you prefer all terms to be rewritten as a filter up-front, you can use `MultiTermQuery.CONSTANT_SCORE_REWRITE`. For more information on the different rewrite methods available, see `MultiTermQuery` documentation.
    Specified by:
      `setMultiTermRewriteMethod` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`

  - ### getMultiTermRewriteMethod

    public MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod getMultiTermRewriteMethod()

      `getMultiTermRewriteMethod` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`
    See Also:
      - `setMultiTermRewriteMethod(org.apache.lucene.search.MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod)`

  - ### setLocale

    public void setLocale(Locale locale)
    Set locale used by date range parsing, lowercasing, and other locale-sensitive operations.
    Specified by:
      `setLocale` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`

  - ### getLocale

    public Locale getLocale()
    Returns current locale, allowing access by subclasses.
    Specified by:
      `getLocale` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`

  - ### setTimeZone

    public void setTimeZone(TimeZone timeZone)
    Specified by:
      `setTimeZone` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`

    Specified by:
      `getTimeZone` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`

  - ### setDateResolution

    public void setDateResolution(DateTools.Resolution dateResolution)
    Sets the default date resolution used by RangeQueries for fields for which no specific date resolutions has been set. Field specific resolutions can be set with `setDateResolution(String, org.apache.lucene.document.DateTools.Resolution)`.
    Specified by:
      `setDateResolution` in interface `CommonQueryParserConfiguration`
    Parameters:
      `dateResolution` - the default date resolution to set

  - ### setDateResolution

    public void setDateResolution(String fieldName, DateTools.Resolution dateResolution)
    Sets the date resolution used by RangeQueries for a specific field.
    Parameters:
      `fieldName` - field for which the date resolution is to be set
      `dateResolution` - date resolution to set

  - ### getDateResolution

    public DateTools.Resolution getDateResolution(String fieldName)
    Returns the date resolution that is used by RangeQueries for the given field. Returns null, if no default or field specific date resolution has been set for the given field.

  - ### setDeterminizeWorkLimit

    public void setDeterminizeWorkLimit(int determinizeWorkLimit)
    Parameters:
      `determinizeWorkLimit` - the maximum effort that determinizing a regexp query can spend. If the query requires more effort, a TooComplexToDeterminizeException is thrown.

  - ### getDeterminizeWorkLimit

    public int getDeterminizeWorkLimit()
    Returns:
      the maximum effort that determinizing a regexp query can spend. If the query requires more effort, a TooComplexToDeterminizeException is thrown.

  - ### addClause

    protected void addClause(List<BooleanClause> clauses, int conj, int mods, Query q)

  - ### addMultiTermClauses

    protected void addMultiTermClauses(List<BooleanClause> clauses, Query q)
    Adds clauses generated from analysis over text containing whitespace. There are no operators, so the query's clauses can either be MUST (if the default operator is AND) or SHOULD (default OR).

    If all of the clauses in the given Query are TermQuery-s, this method flattens the result by adding the TermQuery-s individually to the output clause list; otherwise, the given Query is added as a single clause including its nested clauses.

    Returns:
      new WildcardQuery instance

  - ### getBooleanQuery

    protected Query getBooleanQuery(List<BooleanClause> clauses) throws ParseException
    Factory method for generating query, given a set of clauses. By default creates a boolean query composed of clauses passed in.

    Can be overridden by extending classes, to modify query being returned.

    Parameters:
      `clauses` - List that contains `BooleanClause` instances to join.
    Returns:
      Resulting `Query` object.
    Throws:
      `ParseException` - throw in overridden method to disallow

  - ### getWildcardQuery

    protected Query getWildcardQuery(String field, String termStr) throws ParseException
    Factory method for generating a query. Called when parser parses an input term token that contains one or more wildcard characters (? and *), but is not a prefix term token (one that has just a single * character at the end)

    Depending on settings, prefix term may be lower-cased automatically. It will not go through the default Analyzer, however, since normal Analyzers are unlikely to work properly with wildcard templates.

    Can be overridden by extending classes, to provide custom handling for wildcard queries, which may be necessary due to missing analyzer calls.

    Parameters:
      `field` - Name of the field query will use.
      `termStr` - Term token that contains one or more wild card characters (? or *), but is not simple prefix term
    Returns:
      Resulting `Query` built for the term
    Throws:
      `ParseException` - throw in overridden method to disallow

  - ### getRegexpQuery

    protected Query getRegexpQuery(String field, String termStr) throws ParseException
    Factory method for generating a query. Called when parser parses an input term token that contains a regular expression query.

    Depending on settings, pattern term may be lower-cased automatically. It will not go through the default Analyzer, however, since normal Analyzers are unlikely to work properly with regular expression templates.

    Can be overridden by extending classes, to provide custom handling for regular expression queries, which may be necessary due to missing analyzer calls.

    Parameters:
      `field` - Name of the field query will use.
      `termStr` - Term token that contains a regular expression
    Returns:
      Resulting `Query` built for the term
    Throws:
      `ParseException` - throw in overridden method to disallow

  - ### getPrefixQuery

    protected Query getPrefixQuery(String field, String termStr) throws ParseException
    Factory method for generating a query (similar to `getWildcardQuery(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`). Called when parser parses an input term token that uses prefix notation; that is, contains a single '*' wildcard character as its last character. Since this is a special case of generic wildcard term, and such a query can be optimized easily, this usually results in a different query object.

    Depending on settings, a prefix term may be lower-cased automatically. It will not go through the default Analyzer, however, since normal Analyzers are unlikely to work properly with wildcard templates.

    Can be overridden by extending classes, to provide custom handling for wild card queries, which may be necessary due to missing analyzer calls.

    Parameters:
      `field` - Name of the field query will use.
      `termStr` - Term token to use for building term for the query (without trailing '*' character!)
    Returns:
      Resulting `Query` built for the term
    Throws:
      `ParseException` - throw in overridden method to disallow

  - ### getFuzzyQuery

    protected Query getFuzzyQuery(String field, String termStr, float minSimilarity) throws ParseException
    Factory method for generating a query (similar to `getWildcardQuery(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)`). Called when parser parses an input term token that has the fuzzy suffix (~) appended.
    Parameters:
      `field` - Name of the field query will use.
      `termStr` - Term token to use for building term for the query
    Returns:
      Resulting `Query` built for the term
    Throws:
      `ParseException` - throw in overridden method to disallow

  - ### getFuzzyDistance

    protected float getFuzzyDistance(Token fuzzyToken, String termStr)
    Determines the similarity distance for the given fuzzy token and term string.

    The default implementation uses the string image of the `fuzzyToken` in an attempt to parse it to a primitive float value. Otherwise, the minimal similarity distance is returned. Subclasses can override this method to return a similarity distance, say based on the `termStr`, if the `fuzzyToken` does not specify a distance.

    Parameters:
      `fuzzyToken` - The Fuzzy token
      `termStr` - The Term string
    Returns:
      The similarity distance

  - ### escape

    public static String escape(String s)
    Returns a String where those characters that QueryParser expects to be escaped are escaped by a preceding `\`.
