The ShingleFilter is designed to generate tokens from token *sequences* in an input token stream, but you want to match against cases where they are separated by other tokens, so even if you generated shingles at index and query time, many of the documents you would want to match would not match, since the intervening tokens would block a match. (But maybe you were thinking of some other scenario?)
