All Implemented Interfaces:

QueryParserConstants

public class QueryParser

extends Object

implements QueryParserConstants

This class is generated by JavaCC. The only method that clients should need to call is parse(). The syntax for query strings is as follows: A Query is a series of clauses. A clause may be prefixed by:

• a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign, indicating that the clause is required or prohibited respectively; or
• a term followed by a colon, indicating the field to be searched. This enables one to construct queries which search multiple fields.

A clause may be either a:

• a term, indicating all the documents that contain this term; or
• a nested query, enclosed in parentheses. Note that this may be used with a +/- prefix to require any of a set of terms.

Thus, in BNF, the query grammar is:

   Query  ::= ( Clause )*
   Clause ::= ["+", "-"] [ ":"] (  | "(" Query ")" )

Method Detail

parse

public static Query parse(String query,
                          String field,
                          Analyzer analyzer)
                   throws ParseException

Parses a query string, returning a Query.

Parameters:

query - the query string to be parsed.

field - the default field for query terms.

analyzer - used to find terms in the query text.

parse

public Query parse(String query)
            throws ParseException

Parses a query string, returning a Query.

Parameters:

query - the query string to be parsed.

setPhraseSlop

public void setPhraseSlop(int s)

Sets the default slop for phrases. If zero, then exact phrase matches are required. Zero by default.
