All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class MultiPhraseQuery
extends Query

MultiPhraseQuery is a generalized version of PhraseQuery, with an added method add(Term[]). To use this class, to search for the phrase "Microsoft app*" first use add(Term) on the term "Microsoft", then find all terms that have "app" as prefix using IndexReader.terms(Term), and use MultiPhraseQuery.add(Term[] terms) to add them to the query.

getSlop

public int getSlop()

Sets the phrase slop for this query.

add

public void add(Term term)

Add a single term at the next position in the phrase.

See Also:

PhraseQuery.add(Term)

add

public void add(Term[] terms)

Add multiple terms at the next position in the phrase. Any of the terms may match.

add

public void add(Term[] terms,
                int position)

Allows to specify the relative position of terms within the phrase.

getTermArrays

public List<Term[]> getTermArrays()

Returns a List of the terms in the multiphrase. Do not modify the List or its contents.

getPositions

public int[] getPositions()

Returns the relative positions of terms in this phrase.

extractTerms

public void extractTerms(Set<Term> terms)

Description copied from class: Query

Expert: adds all terms occurring in this query to the terms set. Only works if this query is in its rewritten form.

Overrides:

extractTerms in class Query

rewrite

public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)

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

createWeight

public Weight createWeight(IndexSearcher searcher)
                    throws IOException

Description copied from class: Query

Expert: Constructs an appropriate Weight implementation for this query.

Only implemented by primitive queries, which re-write to themselves.

Overrides:

createWeight in class Query

Throws:

IOException

toString

public final String toString(String f)

Prints a user-readable version of this query.

Specified by:

toString in class Query

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns true if o is equal to this.

Overrides:

equals in class Query

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Query
