Description
The following in PhraseQuery has been here since Sept 15th 2004 (by "goller"):
/**
* Adds a term to the end of the query phrase.
* The relative position of the term within the phrase is specified explicitly.
* This allows e.g. phrases with more than one term at the same position
* or phrases with gaps (e.g. in connection with stopwords).
*
*/
public Builder add(Term term, int position) {
Of course this isn't true; it's why we have MultiPhraseQuery. Yet we even allow you to have consecutive terms with the same positions. We shouldn't allow that; we should throw an exception. For my own sanity, I modified a simple MultiPhraseQuery test to use PhraseQuery instead and of course it didn't work.
