Uses of Weight in org.apache.lucene.search

Subclasses of Weight in org.apache.lucene.search
`protected class` `BooleanQuery.BooleanWeight` Expert: the Weight for BooleanQuery, used to normalize, score and explain these queries.
`protected class` `ConstantScoreQuery.ConstantWeight`
`protected class` `DisjunctionMaxQuery.DisjunctionMaxWeight` Expert: the Weight for DisjunctionMaxQuery, used to normalize, score and explain these queries.

Fields in org.apache.lucene.search declared as Weight
`protected Weight` `Scorer.weight`

Fields in org.apache.lucene.search with type parameters of type Weight
`protected ArrayList<Weight>` `DisjunctionMaxQuery.DisjunctionMaxWeight.weights` The Weights for our subqueries, in 1-1 correspondence with disjuncts
`protected ArrayList<Weight>` `BooleanQuery.BooleanWeight.weights`

Methods in org.apache.lucene.search that return Weight
`Weight` `AssertingIndexSearcher.createNormalizedWeight(Query query)` Ensures, that the returned `Weight` is not normalized again, which may produce wrong scores.
`Weight` `IndexSearcher.createNormalizedWeight(Query query)` Creates a normalized weight for a top-level `Query`.
`Weight` `Searcher.createNormalizedWeight(Query query)` Deprecated. Creates a normalized weight for a top-level `Query`.
`Weight` `MultiSearcher.createNormalizedWeight(Query original)` Deprecated. Create weight in multiple index scenario.
`protected Weight` `Searcher.createWeight(Query query)` Deprecated. never ever use this method in `Weight` implementations. Subclasses of Searcher should use `Searcher.createNormalizedWeight(org.apache.lucene.search.Query)`, instead.
`Weight` `ConstantScoreQuery.createWeight(Searcher searcher)`
`Weight` `DisjunctionMaxQuery.createWeight(Searcher searcher)` Create the Weight used to score us
`Weight` `MatchAllDocsQuery.createWeight(Searcher searcher)`

`Weight` `MultiPhraseQuery.createWeight(Searcher searcher)`
`Weight` `PhraseQuery.createWeight(Searcher searcher)`
`Weight` `FilteredQuery.createWeight(Searcher searcher)` Returns a Weight that applies the filter to the enclosed query's Weight.
`Weight` `Query.createWeight(Searcher searcher)` Expert: Constructs an appropriate Weight implementation for this query.
`Weight` `Query.weight(Searcher searcher)` Deprecated. never ever use this method in `Weight` implementations. Subclasses of `Query` should use `Query.createWeight(org.apache.lucene.search.Searcher)`, instead.
