Paul Curren commented on LUCENE-915:
------------------------------------
I believe like you say that the algorithm is correctly implemented, however the
algorithm has the above bug.
The end result is false positives in the search results.
It's not a big issue, however the search engine has a behaviour that leads to
false hits being returned and therefore this is definitely a defect in
application functionality.
I'd imagine you aren't going to fix it since it would require explicit
'exception word' checking being added to the algorithm. So feel free to close
the issue. The main reason I raise it is so others will hopefully spend less
time that I did being confused by this.
