-<p>The logical representation of a {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Document} for indexing and searching.</p>
-<p>The document package provides the user level logical representation of content to be indexed and searched. The
-package also provides utilities for working with {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Document}s and {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Fieldable}s.</p>
-<h2>Document and Fieldable</h2>
-<p>A {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Document} is a collection of {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Fieldable}s. A
- {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Fieldable} is a logical representation of a user's content that needs to be indexed or stored.
- {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Fieldable}s have a number of properties that tell Lucene how to treat the content (like indexed, tokenized,
- stored, etc.) See the {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Field} implementation of {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Fieldable}
- for specifics on these properties.
-</p>
-<p>Note: it is common to refer to {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Document}s having {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Field}s, even though technically they have
-{@link org.apache.lucene.document.Fieldable}s.</p>
-<h2>Working with Documents</h2>
-<p>First and foremost, a {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Document} is something created by the user application. It is your job
- to create Documents based on the content of the files you are working with in your application (Word, txt, PDF, Excel or any other format.)
- How this is done is completely up to you. That being said, there are many tools available in other projects that can make
- the process of taking a file and converting it into a Lucene {@link org.apache.lucene.document.Document}. To see an example of this,
- take a look at the Lucene <a href="../../../../../../gettingstarted.html" target="top">demo</a> and the associated source code
- for extracting content from HTML.
-</p>
-<p>The {@link org.apache.lucene.document.DateTools} is a utility class to make dates and times searchable
-(remember, Lucene only searches text). {@link org.apache.lucene.document.NumericField} is a special helper class
-to simplify indexing of numeric values (and also dates) for fast range range queries with {@link org.apache.lucene.search.NumericRangeQuery}
-(using a special sortable string representation of numeric values).</p>
-<p>The {@link org.apache.lucene.document.FieldSelector} class provides a mechanism to tell Lucene how to load Documents from
-storage. If no FieldSelector is used, all Fieldables on a Document will be loaded. As an example of the FieldSelector usage, consider
- the common use case of
-displaying search results on a web page and then having users click through to see the full document. In this scenario, it is often
- the case that there are many small fields and one or two large fields (containing the contents of the original file). Before the FieldSelector,
-the full Document had to be loaded, including the large fields, in order to display the results. Now, using the FieldSelector, one
-can {@link org.apache.lucene.document.FieldSelectorResult#LAZY_LOAD} the large fields, thus only loading the large fields
-when a user clicks on the actual link to view the original content.</p>
