All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface SearchIndexExcluderList

An ordered list of SearxchIndexExcluder objects, in a handy package. Implementations should make a protective copy of the list of SearxchIndexExcluders. Implementations must be thread-safe. The life-cycle is:

 startIndexing(),
 0 or more isExcluded() by multiple threads,
 stopIndexing().
