-------------------------------------

Hi Doron, thanks for the cleanups here!

bq. Would it be cleaner to have a new class DefaultSimilarityProvider which 
would return DefaultSimilarity? not sure, but thought it's worth mentioning.

I went back and forth on this one... it could go either way? But since the 
default does the same thing for every field, I thought
it made sense... what do you think? We could always revisit it too later, if we 
later prefer these to be separate.

{quote}
javadoc in line 78:
"In general, this should not be used."
Is that so? I would like to believe that in general the default is pretty good.
{quote}

In this case, I should have been more verbose... what I meant here is that 'in 
general, code should not call this static method, instead it should 
respect the SimilarityProvider set on IndexSearcher 
[getSimilarityProvider()]...'. This is just the default exposed for internal 
purposes: just to
have a single immutable default instance for MemoryIndex, InstantiatedIndex, 
IndexWriterConfig, IndexSearcher... but if someone writes
a custom Query for example, they should be using 
IndexSearcher.getSimilarityProvider(), and not this static.

I can update the javadocs to be a little bit more verbose for this method, as I 
would like to discourage its use... its essentially just like
using Similarity.getDefault() before, which I tried to cleanup across lucene.
