In: "bicycle"
Out: "bicy", "bicyc", "icyc", "icycl", "cycl", "cycle", "ycle"
Edge N-Gram Tokenizer
Reads the field text and generates edge n-gram tokens of sizes in the given range.
Factory class: solr.EdgeNGramTokenizerFactory
Arguments:
minGramSize: (integer, default is 1) The minimum n-gram size, must be > 0.
maxGramSize: (integer, default is 1) The maximum n-gram size, must be >= minGramSize.
side: ("front" or "back", default is "front") Whether to compute the n-grams from the beginning (front) of the text
or from the end (back).
Example:
Default behavior (min and max default to 1):
In: "babaloo"
