KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer(3pm)

NAME

KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer - customizable tokenizing

SYNOPSIS

my $whitespace_tokenizer
    = KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer->new( token_re => qr/\S+/, );

# or...
my $word_char_tokenizer
    = KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer->new( token_re => qr/\w+/, );

# or...
my $apostrophising_tokenizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer->new;

# then... once you have a tokenizer, put it into a PolyAnalyzer
my $polyanalyzer = KinoSearch::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new(
    analyzers => [ $lc_normalizer, $word_char_tokenizer, $stemmer ], );

DESCRIPTION

Generically, "tokenizing" is a process of breaking up a string into an array of "tokens".
# before:
my $string = "three blind mice";
# after:
@tokens = qw( three blind mice );
KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer decides where it should break up the
text based on the value of "token_re".

# before:
my $string = "Eats, Shoots and Leaves.";
# tokenized by $whitespace_tokenizer
@tokens = qw( Eats, Shoots and Leaves. );
# tokenized by $word_char_tokenizer
@tokens = qw( Eats Shoots and Leaves );

METHODS

new
# match "O'Henry" as well as "Henry" and "it's" as well as "it"
my $token_re = qr/
\b # start with a word boundary
\w+ # Match word chars.
(?: # Group, but don't capture...
'\w+ # ... an apostrophe plus word chars.
)? # Matching the apostrophe group is optional.
\b # end with a word boundary
/xsm;
my $tokenizer = KinoSearch::Analysis::Tokenizer->new(
token_re => $token_re, # default: what you see above
);
Constructor. Takes one hash style parameter.
o token_re - must be a pre-compiled regular expression matching one
token.
