Constructor Detail

PhraseQuery

public PhraseQuery()

Constructs an empty phrase query.

Method Detail

setSlop

public void setSlop(int s)

Sets the number of other words permitted between words in query phrase. If zero, then this is an exact phrase search. For larger values this works like a WITHIN or NEAR operator.

The slop is in fact an edit-distance, where the units correspond to moves of terms in the query phrase out of position. For example, to switch the order of two words requires two moves (the first move places the words atop one another), so to permit re-orderings of phrases, the slop must be at least two.

More exact matches are scored higher than sloppier matches, thus search results are sorted by exactness.

The slop is zero by default, requiring exact matches.

getSlop

public int getSlop()

Returns the slop. See setSlop().

add

public void add(Term term,
                Integer position,
                boolean considerAsATerm)

Adds a term to the end of the query phrase.

setTotalTerms

public void setTotalTerms(int totalTerms)

add

public void add(Term term)

getTerms

public Term[] getTerms()

Returns the set of terms in this phrase.

toString in class Query

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Returns true iff o is equal to this.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code value for this object.

Overrides:
