While we're waiting for Robert to respond... I would argue that SlowFuzzyQuery should be un-deprecated and moved from sandbox back into Lucene proper since it does have value in SOME cases. Actually, I would argue that it should be recombined with "fast" FuzzyQuery (joined at the hip as it were) and simply document that if you use a max edit distance > 2 then it will be "slow".

Subject: FuzzyQuery vs SlowFuzsyQuery docs? -- was: Re: [jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-2667) Fix FuzzyQuery's defaults, so its fast.


Is there any reason why SlowFuzzyQuery shouldn't be in the class level
javadocs for FuzzyQuery ?

: Hi Francisco: The core FuzzyQuery does not support edit distances > 2,
: because the automatons used for this would be too big and slow. If you
: really want distances > 2, use
: http://lucene.apache.org/core/4_0_0-BETA/sandbox/org/apache/lucene/sandbox/queries/SlowFuzzyQuery.html
: from the sandbox module (lucene-sandbox.jar). This one is the same
: algorithm as the old 3.x FuzzyQuery (and is as slow).
