Constructor Detail

SpanFirstQuery

public SpanFirstQuery(SpanQuery match,
                      int end)

Construct a SpanFirstQuery matching spans in match whose end position is less than or equal to end.

Method Detail

getMatch

public SpanQuery getMatch()

Return the SpanQuery whose matches are filtered.

getEnd

public int getEnd()

Return the maximum end position permitted in a match.

getField

public String getField()

Description copied from class: SpanQuery

Returns the name of the field matched by this query.

Specified by:

getField in class SpanQuery

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.

The representation used is one that is supposed to be readable by QueryParser. However, there are the following limitations:

• If the query was created by the parser, the printed representation may not be exactly what was parsed. For example, characters that need to be escaped will be represented without the required backslash.
• Some of the more complicated queries (e.g. span queries) don't have a representation that can be parsed by QueryParser.

Specified by:

toString in class Query

clone

public Object clone()

Description copied from class: Query

Returns a clone of this query.

Overrides:

clone in class Query

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

getSpans

public Spans getSpans(IndexReader reader)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: SpanQuery

Expert: Returns the matches for this query in an index. Used internally to search for spans.

Specified by:

getSpans in class SpanQuery

Throws:

IOException

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

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Query

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Query
