public final class ICUTransformFilter
extends org.apache.lucene.analysis.TokenFilter

A TokenFilter that transforms text with ICU.

ICU provides text-transformation functionality via its Transliteration API. Although script conversion is its most common use, a Transliterator can actually perform a more general class of tasks. In fact, Transliterator defines a very general API which specifies only that a segment of the input text is replaced by new text. The particulars of this conversion are determined entirely by subclasses of Transliterator.

Some useful transformations for search are built-in:

Example usage:

stream = new ICUTransformFilter(stream, Transliterator.getInstance("Traditional-Simplified"));

For more details, see the ICU User Guide.
