An abstract {@link Query} that matches documents containing a subset of terms provided by a {@link FilteredTermEnum} enumeration.

This query cannot be used directly; you must subclass it and define {@link #getEnum} to provide a {@link FilteredTermEnum} that iterates through the terms to be matched.

NOTE: if {@link #setRewriteMethod} is either {@link #CONSTANT_SCORE_BOOLEAN_QUERY_REWRITE} or {@link #SCORING_BOOLEAN_QUERY_REWRITE}, you may encounter a {@link BooleanQuery.TooManyClauses} exception during searching, which happens when the number of terms to be searched exceeds {@link BooleanQuery#GetMaxClauseCount()}. Setting {@link #setRewriteMethod} to {@link #CONSTANT_SCORE_FILTER_REWRITE} prevents this.

The recommended rewrite method is {@link #CONSTANT_SCORE_AUTO_REWRITE_DEFAULT}: it doesn't spend CPU computing unhelpful scores, and it tries to pick the most performant rewrite method given the query. Note that {@link QueryParser} produces MultiTermQueries using {@link #CONSTANT_SCORE_AUTO_REWRITE_DEFAULT} by default.
