      SpanQuery

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class SpanOrNearQuery
extends SpanQuery

Matches spans which are near one another. Unlike a standard 'near' query, all of the sub-queries need not be present. One can specify slop, the maximum edit distance for those that are present in a given document. If enabled, in-order matches are scored higher than out-of-order.

Constructor Detail

SpanOrNearQuery

public SpanOrNearQuery(SpanQuery[] clauses,
                       int slop,
                       boolean penalizeOutOfOrder)

Construct a SpanOrNearQuery. Matches spans matching a span from each clause if present, with up to slop total edit distance between them. When penalizeOutOfOrder is true, out of order clauses are scored lower than in-order clauses.

Method Detail

getClauses

public SpanQuery[] getClauses()

Return the clauses whose spans are matched.

getSlop

public int getSlop()

Return the maximum number of intervening unmatched positions permitted.

penalizeOutOfOrder

public boolean penalizeOutOfOrder()

Return true if matches are penalized for being out of order.

setSlop

public void setSlop(int slop)

Set the maximum edit distance permitted.

getField

public String getField()
