Constructor Details

SpanOrQuery

public SpanOrQuery(SpanQuery[] clauses)
Construct a SpanOrQuery merging the provided clauses.

Method Details

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

getClauses

public SpanQuery[] getClauses()
Return the clauses whose spans are matched.

getField

public String getField()
Returns the name of the field matched by this query.
Overrides:
getField in interface SpanQuery

getSpans

public Spans getSpans(IndexReader reader)
            throws IOException
Expert: Returns the matches for this query in an index. Used internally to search for spans.
Overrides:
getSpans in interface SpanQuery

getTerms

public Collection getTerms()
Returns a collection of all terms matched by this query.
Overrides:
getTerms in interface SpanQuery

hashCode

public int hashCode()

rewrite

public Query rewrite(IndexReader reader)
            throws IOException
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 interface Query

toString

public String toString(String field)
Prints a query to a string, with field as the default field for terms.

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.
Overrides:
toString in interface Query
