Constructor Detail

SpanNearQuery

public SpanNearQuery(SpanQuery[] clauses,
             int slop,
             boolean inOrder)

Construct a SpanNearQuery. Matches spans matching a span from each clause, with up to slop total unmatched positions between them. * When inOrder is true, the spans from each clause must be * ordered as in clauses.

Method Detail

getClauses

public SpanQuery[] getClauses()

Return the clauses whose spans are matched.

getSlop

public int getSlop()

Return the maximum number of intervening unmatched positions permitted.

isInOrder

public boolean isInOrder()

Return true if matches are required to be in-order.

getField

public String getField()

Description copied from class: SpanQuery

Returns the name of the field matched by this query.

Specified by:

getField in class SpanQuery

getTerms

public Collection getTerms()

Description copied from class: SpanQuery

Returns a collection of all terms matched by this query.

Specified by:

getTerms in class SpanQuery

toString

public String toString(String field)

Description copied from class: Query

Prints a query to a string, with field as the default field for terms.

The representation used is one that is supposed to be readable by QueryParser. However, there are the following limitations:

• If the query was created by the parser, the printed representation may not be exactly what was parsed. For example, characters that need to be escaped will be represented without the required backslash.
• Some of the more complicated queries (e.g. span queries) don't have a representation that can be parsed by QueryParser.

Specified by:

toString in class Query

getSpans

public Spans getSpans(IndexReader reader)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: SpanQuery

Expert: Returns the matches for this query in an index. Used internally to search for spans.

Specified by:

getSpans in class SpanQuery

Throws:

IOException

rewrite

public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: Query

Expert: called to re-write queries into primitive queries. For example, a PrefixQuery will be rewritten into a BooleanQuery that consists of TermQuerys.

Overrides:

rewrite in class Query

Throws:

IOException

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns true iff o is equal to this.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
