=== Lowercase tokenizer
++++
<titleabbrev>Lowercase</titleabbrev>
++++
The `lowercase` tokenizer, like the
<<analysis-letter-tokenizer, `letter` tokenizer>> breaks text into terms
whenever it encounters a character which is not a letter, but it also
lowercases all terms. It is functionally equivalent to the
<<analysis-letter-tokenizer, `letter` tokenizer>> combined with the
<<analysis-lowercase-tokenfilter, `lowercase` token filter>>, but is more
efficient as it performs both steps in a single pass.
