  - ### acceptPosition

    protected FilterSpans.AcceptStatus acceptPosition(Spans spans)
    Description copied from class: `SpanPositionCheckQuery`
    Implementing classes are required to return whether the current position is a match for the passed in "match" `SpanQuery`.

    This is only called if the underlying last `Spans.nextStartPosition()` for the match indicated a valid start position.

    Overrides:
      `acceptPosition` in class `SpanPositionRangeQuery`
    Parameters:
      `spans` - The `Spans` instance, positioned at the spot to check
    Returns:
      whether the match is accepted, rejected, or rejected and should move to the next doc.

  - ### toString
