+<h2 id="usage_patterns">Usage Patterns</h2>
<p>There are three basic usage patterns supported:</p>
<ul>
<li>Pattern 1 : index string literals. The index will return the literals matching the Lucene search pattern.</li>
<li>Pattern 2 : index subject resources by string literal. The index returns the subjects with property value matching a text query.</li>
<li>Pattern 3 : index graph nodes based on strings not present in the graph.</li>
</ul>
-<p>Patterns 1 and 2 have the indexed content in the graph. Both 1 and 2 can be modified by specifying a property so that only values of a given property are indexed. Pattern 2 is less flexible as discussed below. Pattern 3 is covered "External Content" section below.</p>

<p>LARQ can be used in other ways as well but the classes for these patterns are supplied. In both patterns 1 and 2, strings are indexed, being plain strings, string with any language tag or any literal with datatype XSD string.</p>
-<h3 id="index_creation">Index Creation</h3>
+<h2 id="index_creation">Index Creation</h2>
<p>There are many ways to use Lucene, which can be set up to handle particular features or languages. The creation of the index is done outside of the ARQ query system proper and only accessed at query time. LARQ includes some platform classes and also utility classes to create indexes on string literals for the use cases above. Indexing can be performed as the graph is read in, or to built from an existing graph.</p>
-<h2 id="index_builders">Index Builders</h2>
+<h1 id="index_builders">Index Builders</h1>
<p>An index builder is a class to create a Lucene index from RDF data.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>IndexBuilderString</code>: This is the most commonly used index builder. It indexes plain literals (with or without language tags) and XSD strings and stores the complete literal. Optionally, a property can be supplied which restricts indexing to strings in statements using that property.</li>
<li><code>IndexBuilderSubject</code>: Index the subject resource by a string literal, an store the subject resource, possibly restricted by a specified property.</li>
</ul>
<p>Lucene has many ways to create indexes and the index builder classes do not attempt to provide all possible Lucene features. Applications may need to extend or modify the standard index builders provided by LARQ.</p>

<p>This is a more flexible way of achieving the effect of using a <code>IndexBuilderSubject</code>. <code>IndexBuilderSubject</code> can be more compact when there are many large literals (it stores the subject not the literal) but does not work for blank node subjects without extremely careful co-ordination with a persistent model.
