maxMergeDocs

100000, >=1.4: 2147483647

1.0

respectDocumentOrder

true, >=1.5: false

If true and the query does not contain an 'order by' clause, result nodes will be in document order. For better performance when queries return a lot of nodes set to 'false' (In 1.5 'false' is now the default).

1.0

textFilterClasses

org.apache.jackrabbit.core.query.lucene.TextPlainTextFilter

Sets the list of text filters (and text extractors) to use for extracting text content from binary properties.
