## Uses of Class
org.apache.lucene.search.Similarity

Packages that use Similarity
org.apache.lucene.index: Code to maintain and access indices.
org.apache.lucene.search: Code to search indices.
org.apache.lucene.search.payloads: The payloads package provides Query mechanisms for finding and using payloads.
org.apache.lucene.search.spans: The calculus of spans.

Uses of Similarity in org.apache.lucene.index

Methods in org.apache.lucene.index that return Similarity
`Similarity` `IndexWriter.getSimilarity()` Deprecated. use `IndexWriterConfig.getSimilarity()` instead
`Similarity` `IndexWriterConfig.getSimilarity()` Expert: returns the `Similarity` implementation used by this IndexWriter.

Methods in org.apache.lucene.index with parameters of type Similarity
`void` `IndexWriter.setSimilarity(Similarity similarity)` Deprecated. use `IndexWriterConfig.setSimilarity(Similarity)` instead
`IndexWriterConfig` `IndexWriterConfig.setSimilarity(Similarity similarity)` Expert: set the `Similarity` implementation used by this IndexWriter.

Uses of Similarity in org.apache.lucene.search

Subclasses of Similarity in org.apache.lucene.search
`class` `DefaultSimilarity` Expert: Default scoring implementation.
`class` `SimilarityDelegator` Deprecated. this class will be removed in 4.0. Please subclass `Similarity` or `DefaultSimilarity` instead.

Fields in org.apache.lucene.search declared as Similarity
`protected Similarity` `BooleanQuery.BooleanWeight.similarity` The Similarity implementation.
`protected Similarity` `DisjunctionMaxQuery.DisjunctionMaxWeight.similarity` The Similarity implementation.

Methods in org.apache.lucene.search that return Similarity
`static Similarity` `Similarity.getDefault()` Return the default Similarity implementation used by indexing and search code.
`Similarity` `Searcher.getSimilarity()` Deprecated. Expert: Return the Similarity implementation used by this Searcher.
`Similarity` `ScoreCachingWrappingScorer.getSimilarity()`
`Similarity` `Scorer.getSimilarity()` Deprecated. Store any Similarity you might need privately in your implementation instead.
`Similarity` `IndexSearcher.getSimilarity()`
`Similarity` `Query.getSimilarity(Searcher searcher)` Deprecated. Instead of using "runtime" subclassing/delegation, subclass the Weight instead.

Methods in org.apache.lucene.search with parameters of type Similarity
`static void` `Similarity.setDefault(Similarity similarity)` Set the default Similarity implementation used by indexing and search code.
`void` `Searcher.setSimilarity(Similarity similarity)` Deprecated. Expert: Set the Similarity implementation used by this Searcher.
`void` `IndexSearcher.setSimilarity(Similarity similarity)` Expert: Set the Similarity implementation used by this Searcher.

Constructors in org.apache.lucene.search with parameters of type Similarity
`ConstantScoreQuery.ConstantScorer(Similarity similarity, DocIdSetIterator docIdSetIterator, Weight w)`
`Scorer(Similarity similarity)` Deprecated. Use `Scorer.Scorer(Weight)` instead.
`Scorer(Similarity similarity, Weight weight)` Deprecated. Use `Scorer.Scorer(Weight)` instead.
`SimilarityDelegator(Similarity delegee)` Deprecated. Construct a `Similarity` that delegates all methods to another.
