SYNOPSIS

my $tokenizer = Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer->new;
# Then... once you have a tokenizer, put it into a PolyAnalyzer:
my $polyanalyzer = Lucy::Analysis::PolyAnalyzer->new(
analyzers => [ $case_folder, $tokenizer, $stemmer ], );

DESCRIPTION

Generically, ``tokenizing'' is a process of breaking up a string into an array of ``tokens''. For instance, the string ``three blind mice'' might be tokenized into ``three'', ``blind'', ``mice''.

Lucy::Analysis::StandardTokenizer breaks up the text at the word boundaries defined in Unicode Standard Annex #29. It then returns those words that start with an alphabetic or numeric character.
