A term in a field
A Token is an occurence of a term from the text of a field. It consists of a term's text, the start and end offset of the term in the text of the field, and a type string.
The start and end offsets permit applications to re-associate a token with its source text, e.g., to display highlighted query terms in a document browser, or to show matching text fragments in a \s-1KWIC\s0 (KeyWord In Context) display, etc.
The type is an interned string, assigned by a lexical analyzer (a.k.a. tokenizer), naming the lexical or syntactic class that the token belongs to. For example an end of sentence marker token might be implemented with type \*(L"eos\*(R". The default token type is \*(L"word\*(R".
my $token = Plucene::Analysis::Token->new({
type => $type,
text => $text,
start => $start,
end => $end });
This will create a new Plucene::Analysis::Token object.
