All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable, DocumentScoreModifier
```
public class PhraseScoreModifier
extends Object

  - modifyScores
```
public boolean modifyScores(Index index,
                   MatchingQueryTerms terms,
                   ResultSet resultSet)
```
    Description copied from interface: DocumentScoreModifier
    
    Modifies the scores of the documents for a given query. This returns a boolean that allows the Matching class to determine if the scores of the documents have actually been altered. This is because the resultset has to be resorted after each one.
    
    Specified by:
    
    modifyScores in interface DocumentScoreModifier
    
    Parameters:
    index - Index the data structures used for retrieval.
    terms - TermTreeNodes[] the query terms
    resultSet - ResultSet the current set of results.
    
    Returns:
    true if any scores have been altered
  - getName
```
public String getName()
```
    Description copied from interface: DocumentScoreModifier
    
    Returns the name of the document score modifier.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getName in interface DocumentScoreModifier
    
    Returns:
    String the name of the document score modifier.
  - clone
```
public Object clone()
```
    Clones this DSM. Note that phraseTerms is shallow copied, because Strings are immutable
