public class EdgeNGramTokenizer
extends NGramTokenizer

Tokenizes the input from an edge into n-grams of given size(s).

This Tokenizer create n-grams from the beginning edge or ending edge of a input token.

As of Lucene 4.4, this tokenizer

• can handle maxGram larger than 1024 chars, but beware that this will result in increased memory usage
• doesn't trim the input,
• sets position increments equal to 1 instead of 1 for the first token and 0 for all other ones
• doesn't support backward n-grams anymore.
• supports pre-tokenization,
• correctly handles supplementary characters.

Although highly discouraged, it is still possible to use the old behavior through Lucene43EdgeNGramTokenizer.
