      • parse

        public static Query parse​(String[] queries,
                                  String[] fields,
                                  Analyzer analyzer)
                           throws QueryNodeException
        Parses a query which searches on the fields specified.

        If x fields are specified, this effectively constructs:

         
         (field1:query1) (field2:query2) (field3:query3)...(fieldx:queryx)
         
         
        Parameters:
        queries - Queries strings to parse
        fields - Fields to search on
        analyzer - Analyzer to use
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the length of the queries array differs from the length of the fields array
        QueryNodeException
      • parse

        public static Query parse​(String query,
                                  String[] fields,
                                  BooleanClause.Occur[] flags,
                                  Analyzer analyzer)
                           throws QueryNodeException
        Parses a query, searching on the fields specified. Use this if you need to specify certain fields as required, and others as prohibited.

        Usage:

         
         String[] fields = {"filename", "contents", "description"};
         BooleanClause.Occur[] flags = {BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD,
                        BooleanClause.Occur.MUST,
                        BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT};
         MultiFieldQueryParser.parse("query", fields, flags, analyzer);
         
         

        The code above would construct a query:

         
         (filename:query) +(contents:query) -(description:query)
         
         
        Parameters:
        query - Query string to parse
        fields - Fields to search on
        flags - Flags describing the fields
        analyzer - Analyzer to use
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the length of the fields array differs from the length of the flags array
        QueryNodeException
      • parse

        public static Query parse​(String[] queries,
                                  String[] fields,
                                  BooleanClause.Occur[] flags,
                                  Analyzer analyzer)
                           throws QueryNodeException
        Parses a query, searching on the fields specified. Use this if you need to specify certain fields as required, and others as prohibited.

        Usage:

         
         String[] query = {"query1", "query2", "query3"};
         String[] fields = {"filename", "contents", "description"};
         BooleanClause.Occur[] flags = {BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD,
                        BooleanClause.Occur.MUST,
                        BooleanClause.Occur.MUST_NOT};
         MultiFieldQueryParser.parse(query, fields, flags, analyzer);
         
         

        The code above would construct a query:

         
         (filename:query1) +(contents:query2) -(description:query3)
         
         
        Parameters:
        queries - Queries string to parse
        fields - Fields to search on
        flags - Flags describing the fields
        analyzer - Analyzer to use
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the length of the queries, fields, and flags array differ
        QueryNodeException
      • escape

        public static String escape​(String s)
        Returns a String where those characters that TextParser expects to be escaped are escaped by a preceding \.
