Enum Constant Detail

MUST

public static final BooleanClause.Occur MUST

Use this operator for clauses that must appear in the matching documents.

SHOULD

public static final BooleanClause.Occur SHOULD

Use this operator for clauses that should appear in the matching documents. For a BooleanQuery with no MUST clauses one or more SHOULD clauses must match a document for the BooleanQuery to match.

See Also:

BooleanQuery.setMinimumNumberShouldMatch(int)

MUST_NOT

public static final BooleanClause.Occur MUST_NOT

Use this operator for clauses that must not appear in the matching documents. Note that it is not possible to search for queries that only consist of a MUST_NOT clause.

Method Detail

values

public static BooleanClause.Occur[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (BooleanClause.Occur c : BooleanClause.Occur.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static BooleanClause.Occur valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
