<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> is a bigram based tokenizer. It’s recommended to use
this tokenizer for most cases.</p>
<p>Bigram tokenize method tokenizes a text to two adjacent characters
tokens. For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Hello</span></code> is tokenized to the following tokens:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">He</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">el</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ll</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lo</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>Bigram tokenize method is good for recall because you can find all
texts by query consists of two or more characters.</p>
<p>In general, you can’t find all texts by query consists of one
character because one character token doesn’t exist. But you can find
all texts by query consists of one character in Groonga. Because
Groonga find tokens that start with query by predictive search. For
example, Groonga can find <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ll</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lo</span></code> tokens by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">l</span></code> query.</p>
<p>Bigram tokenize method isn’t good for precision because you can find
texts that includes query in word. For example, you can find <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">world</span></code>
by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">or</span></code>. This is more sensitive for ASCII only languages rather than
non-ASCII languages. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> has solution for this problem
described in the below.</p>

<p>If normalizer is used, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> uses white-space-separate like
tokenize method for ASCII characters. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> uses bigram
tokenize method for non-ASCII characters.</p>
<p>You may be confused with this combined behavior. But it’s reasonable
for most use cases such as English text (only ASCII characters) and
Japanese text (ASCII and non-ASCII characters are mixed).</p>
<p>Most languages consists of only ASCII characters use white-space for
word separator. White-space-separate tokenize method is suitable for
the case.</p>
<p>Languages consists of non-ASCII characters don’t use white-space for
word separator. Bigram tokenize method is suitable for the case.</p>
<p>Mixed tokenize method is suitable for mixed language case.</p>
<p>If you want to use bigram tokenize method for ASCII character, see
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigramSplitXXX</span></code> type tokenizers such as
<a class="reference internal" href="token_bigram_split_symbol_alpha.html#token-bigram-split-symbol-alpha"><span class="std std-ref">TokenBigramSplitSymbolAlpha</span></a>.</p>
<p>Let’s confirm <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> behavior by example.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> uses one or more white-spaces as token delimiter for
ASCII characters:</p>
<p>Execution example:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>tokenize TokenBigram &quot;Hello World&quot; NormalizerAuto
# [
#   [
#     0,
#     1337566253.89858,
#     0.000355720520019531
#   ],
#   [
#     {
#       &quot;position&quot;: 0,
#       &quot;force_prefix&quot;: false,
#       &quot;value&quot;: &quot;hello&quot;
#     },
#     {
#       &quot;position&quot;: 1,
#       &quot;force_prefix&quot;: false,
#       &quot;value&quot;: &quot;world&quot;
#     }
#   ]
# ]
</pre></div>
</div>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TokenBigram</span></code> uses character type change as token delimiter for
ASCII characters. Character type is one of them:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p>Alphabet</p></li>
<li><p>Digit</p></li>
<li><p>Symbol (such as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">(</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">)</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!</span></code>)</p></li>
<li><p>Hiragana</p></li>
<li><p>Katakana</p></li>
<li><p>Kanji</p></li>
<li><p>Others</p></li>
</ul>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The following example shows two token delimiters:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ul class="simple">
<li><p>at between <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">100</span></code> (digits) and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cents</span></code> (alphabets)</p></li>
