Package org.apache.lucene.util

Class QueryBuilder

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.util.QueryBuilder

public class QueryBuilder
extends java.lang.Object

Creates queries from the Analyzer chain.

Example usage:

   QueryBuilder builder = new QueryBuilder(analyzer);
   Query a = builder.createBooleanQuery("body", "just a test");
   Query b = builder.createPhraseQuery("body", "another test");
   Query c = builder.createMinShouldMatchQuery("body", "another test", 0.5f);
 

This can also be used as a subclass for query parsers to make it easier to interact with the analysis chain. Factory methods such as newTermQuery are provided so that the generated queries can be customized.

Constructor Detail

QueryBuilder

public QueryBuilder(Analyzer analyzer)

Creates a new QueryBuilder using the given analyzer.

Method Detail

createBooleanQuery

public Query createBooleanQuery(java.lang.String field,
                                java.lang.String queryText)

Creates a boolean query from the query text.

This is equivalent to createBooleanQuery(field, queryText, Occur.SHOULD)

Parameters:

field - field name

queryText - text to be passed to the analyzer

Returns:

TermQuery or BooleanQuery, based on the analysis of queryText

createBooleanQuery

public Query createBooleanQuery(java.lang.String field,
                                java.lang.String queryText,
                                BooleanClause.Occur operator)

Creates a boolean query from the query text.

Parameters:

field - field name

queryText - text to be passed to the analyzer

operator - operator used for clauses between analyzer tokens.

Returns:

TermQuery or BooleanQuery, based on the analysis of queryText

createPhraseQuery

public Query createPhraseQuery(java.lang.String field,
                               java.lang.String queryText)

Creates a phrase query from the query text.

This is equivalent to createPhraseQuery(field, queryText, 0)

Parameters:

field - field name

queryText - text to be passed to the analyzer

Returns:

TermQuery, BooleanQuery, PhraseQuery, or MultiPhraseQuery, based on the analysis of queryText

createPhraseQuery

public Query createPhraseQuery(java.lang.String field,
                               java.lang.String queryText,
                               int phraseSlop)

Creates a phrase query from the query text.

Parameters:

field - field name

queryText - text to be passed to the analyzer

phraseSlop - number of other words permitted between words in query phrase

Returns:

TermQuery, BooleanQuery, PhraseQuery, or MultiPhraseQuery, based on the analysis of queryText

createMinShouldMatchQuery

public Query createMinShouldMatchQuery(java.lang.String field,
                                       java.lang.String queryText,
                                       float fraction)

Creates a minimum-should-match query from the query text.

Parameters:

field - field name

queryText - text to be passed to the analyzer

fraction - of query terms [0..1] that should match

Returns:

TermQuery or BooleanQuery, based on the analysis of queryText

getAnalyzer

public Analyzer getAnalyzer()

Returns the analyzer.

See Also:

setAnalyzer(Analyzer)

setAnalyzer

public void setAnalyzer(Analyzer analyzer)

Sets the analyzer used to tokenize text.

getEnablePositionIncrements

public boolean getEnablePositionIncrements()

Returns true if position increments are enabled.

See Also:

setEnablePositionIncrements(boolean)

setEnablePositionIncrements

public void setEnablePositionIncrements(boolean enable)

Set to true to enable position increments in result query.

When set, result phrase and multi-phrase queries will be aware of position increments. Useful when e.g. a StopFilter increases the position increment of the token that follows an omitted token.

Default: true.
