Class ConstantScoreQuery

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.search.Query

org.apache.lucene.search.ConstantScoreQuery

All Implemented Interfaces:

Cloneable

public class ConstantScoreQuery
extends Query

A query that wraps another query or a filter and simply returns a constant score equal to the query boost for every document that matches the filter or query. For queries it therefore simply strips of all scores and returns a constant one.

Constructor Detail

ConstantScoreQuery

public ConstantScoreQuery(Query query)

Strips off scores from the passed in Query. The hits will get a constant score dependent on the boost factor of this query.

ConstantScoreQuery

public ConstantScoreQuery(Filter filter)

Wraps a Filter as a Query. The hits will get a constant score dependent on the boost factor of this query. If you simply want to strip off scores from a Query, no longer use new ConstantScoreQuery(new QueryWrapperFilter(query)), instead use ConstantScoreQuery(Query)!

Method Detail

getFilter

public Filter getFilter()

Returns the encapsulated filter, returns null if a query is wrapped.

getQuery

public Query getQuery()

Returns the encapsulated query, returns null if a filter is wrapped.

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

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

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 String toString(String field)

Description copied from class: Query

Prints a query to a string, with field assumed to be the default field and omitted.

Specified by:

toString in class Query

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Query

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Query
