- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Builder

          public Builder()

      Sole constructor.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setSlop

          public PhraseQuery.Builder setSlop​(int slop)

      Set the slop.

        `PhraseQuery.getSlop()`

    - #### add

          public PhraseQuery.Builder add​(Term term)

      Adds a term to the end of the query phrase. The relative position of the term is the one immediately after the last term added.

    - #### add

          public PhraseQuery.Builder add​(Term term,
                                         int position)

      Adds a term to the end of the query phrase. The relative position of the term within the phrase is specified explicitly, but must be greater than or equal to that of the previously added term. A greater position allows phrases with gaps (e.g. in connection with stopwords). If the position is equal, you most likely should be using `MultiPhraseQuery` instead which only requires one term at each position to match; this class requires all of them.

    - #### build

          public PhraseQuery build()

      Build a phrase query based on the terms that have been added.
