Public Member Functions

 IndexSearcher (const DirectoryPtr &path, bool readOnly=true)
 Creates a searcher searching the index in the named directory. You should pass readOnly = true, since it gives much better concurrent performance, unless you intend to do write operations (delete documents or change norms) with the underlying IndexReader.
 
 IndexSearcher (const IndexReaderPtr &reader)
 Creates a searcher searching the provided index.
 
 IndexSearcher (const IndexReaderPtr &reader, Collection< IndexReaderPtr > subReaders, Collection< int32_t > docStarts)
 Directly specify the reader, subReaders and their docID starts.
 
virtual ~IndexSearcher ()
 
virtual String getClassName ()
 
boost::shared_ptr< IndexSearchershared_from_this ()
 
IndexReaderPtr getIndexReader ()
 Return the IndexReader this searches.
 
virtual void close ()
 Note that the underlying IndexReader is not closed, if IndexSearcher was constructed with IndexSearcher(const IndexReaderPtr& reader). If the IndexReader was supplied implicitly by specifying a directory, then the IndexReader gets closed.
 
virtual int32_t docFreq (const TermPtr &term)
 Returns the number of documents containing term.
 
virtual DocumentPtr doc (int32_t n)
 Returns the stored fields of document i.

 Get the Document at the n'th position. The FieldSelector may be used to determine what Fields to load and how they should be loaded.
 
virtual int32_t maxDoc ()
 Returns one greater than the largest possible document number.
 
virtual TopDocsPtr search (const WeightPtr &weight, const FilterPtr &filter, int32_t n)
 Low-level search implementation. Finds the top n hits for query, applying filter if non-null. Applications should usually call Searcher#search(QueryPtr, int32_t) or Searcher#search(QueryPtr, FilterPtr, int32_t) instead.
 
virtual TopFieldDocsPtr search (const WeightPtr &weight, const FilterPtr &filter, int32_t n, const SortPtr &sort)
 Low-level search implementation with arbitrary sorting. Finds the top n hits for query, applying filter if non-null, and sorting the hits by the criteria in sort.
 
virtual TopFieldDocsPtr search (const WeightPtr &weight, const FilterPtr &filter, int32_t n, const SortPtr &sort, bool fillFields)
 Just like search(WeightPtr, FilterPtr, int32_t, SortPtr), but you choose whether or not the fields in the returned FieldDoc instances should be set by specifying fillFields.

Detailed Description

Implements search over a single IndexReader.

Applications usually need only call the inherited search(QueryPtr, int32_t) or search(QueryPtr, FilterPtr, int32_t) methods. For performance reasons it is recommended to open only one IndexSearcher and use it for all of your searches.

NOTE: IndexSearcher instances are completely thread safe, meaning multiple threads can call any of its methods, concurrently. If your application requires external synchronization, you should not synchronize on the IndexSearcher instance; use your own (non-Lucene) objects instead.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IndexSearcher() [1/3]

Lucene::IndexSearcher::IndexSearcher ( const DirectoryPtr path,
bool  readOnly = true 
)

Creates a searcher searching the index in the named directory. You should pass readOnly = true, since it gives much better concurrent performance, unless you intend to do write operations (delete documents or change norms) with the underlying IndexReader.

Parameters
pathDirectory where IndexReader will be opened
readOnlyIf true, the underlying IndexReader will be opened readOnly

◆ IndexSearcher() [2/3]

Lucene::IndexSearcher::IndexSearcher ( const IndexReaderPtr reader)

Creates a searcher searching the provided index.

◆ IndexSearcher() [3/3]

Lucene::IndexSearcher::IndexSearcher ( const IndexReaderPtr reader,
Collection< IndexReaderPtr subReaders,
Collection< int32_t >  docStarts 
)

Directly specify the reader, subReaders and their docID starts.

◆ ~IndexSearcher()

◆ _getClassName()

static String Lucene::IndexSearcher::_getClassName ( )
inlinestatic

◆ close()

virtual void Lucene::IndexSearcher::close ( )
virtual

Note that the underlying IndexReader is not closed, if IndexSearcher was constructed with IndexSearcher(const IndexReaderPtr& reader). If the IndexReader was supplied implicitly by specifying a directory, then the IndexReader gets closed.

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ ConstructSearcher()

void Lucene::IndexSearcher::ConstructSearcher ( const IndexReaderPtr reader,
bool  closeReader 
)
protected

◆ doc() [1/2]

virtual DocumentPtr Lucene::IndexSearcher::doc ( int32_t  n)
virtual

Returns the stored fields of document i.

See also
IndexReader::document(int32_t)

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ doc() [2/2]

virtual DocumentPtr Lucene::IndexSearcher::doc ( int32_t  n,
const FieldSelectorPtr fieldSelector 
)
virtual

Get the Document at the n'th position. The FieldSelector may be used to determine what Fields to load and how they should be loaded.

NOTE: If the underlying Reader (more specifically, the underlying FieldsReader) is closed before the lazy Field is loaded an exception may be thrown. If you want the value of a lazy Field to be available after closing you must explicitly load it or fetch the Document again with a new loader.

Parameters
nGet the document at the n'th position
fieldSelectorThe FieldSelector to use to determine what Fields should be loaded on the Document. May be null, in which case all Fields will be loaded.
Returns
The stored fields of the Document at the n'th position

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ docFreq()

virtual int32_t Lucene::IndexSearcher::docFreq ( const TermPtr term)
virtual

Returns the number of documents containing term.

See also
IndexReader::docFreq(TermPtr)

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ explain() [1/3]

virtual ExplanationPtr Lucene::Searcher::explain ( const QueryPtr query,
int32_t  doc 
)
virtual

Returns an Explanation that describes how doc scored against query.

This is intended to be used in developing Similarity implementations, and for good performance, should not be displayed with every hit. Computing an explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the entire index.

Reimplemented from Lucene::Searcher.

◆ explain() [2/3]

virtual ExplanationPtr Lucene::IndexSearcher::explain ( const WeightPtr weight,
int32_t  doc 
)
virtual

Low-level implementation method. Returns an Explanation that describes how doc scored against weight.

This is intended to be used in developing Similarity implementations, and for good performance, should not be displayed with every hit. Computing an explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the entire index.

Applications should call Searcher#explain(QueryPtr, int32_t).

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ explain() [3/3]

virtual ExplanationPtr Lucene::Searcher::explain ( const WeightPtr weight,
int32_t  doc 
)
virtual

Low-level implementation method. Returns an Explanation that describes how doc scored against weight.

This is intended to be used in developing Similarity implementations, and for good performance, should not be displayed with every hit. Computing an explanation is as expensive as executing the query over the entire index.

Applications should call Searcher#explain(QueryPtr, int32_t).

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ gatherSubReaders()

void Lucene::IndexSearcher::gatherSubReaders ( Collection< IndexReaderPtr allSubReaders,
const IndexReaderPtr reader 
)
protected

◆ getClassName()

virtual String Lucene::IndexSearcher::getClassName ( )
inlinevirtual

Reimplemented from Lucene::Searcher.

◆ getIndexReader()

IndexReaderPtr Lucene::IndexSearcher::getIndexReader ( )

Return the IndexReader this searches.

◆ maxDoc()

virtual int32_t Lucene::IndexSearcher::maxDoc ( )
virtual

Returns one greater than the largest possible document number.

See also
IndexReader::maxDoc()

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

virtual

Called to re-write queries into primitive queries.

Implements Lucene::Searcher.

◆ search() [1/12]

virtual void Lucene::Searcher::search ( const QueryPtr query,
const CollectorPtr results 
)
virtual

Lower-level search API.

Collector#collect(int32_t) is called for every matching document.

Applications should only use this if they need all of the matching documents. The high-level search API (Searcher#search(QueryPtr, int32_t)) is usually more efficient, as it skips non-high-scoring hits.

Note: The score passed to this method is a raw score. In other words, the score will not necessarily be a double whose value is between 0 and 1.

Reimplemented from Lucene::Searcher.

◆ search() [2/12]

virtual void Lucene::Searcher::search ( const QueryPtr query,
const FilterPtr filter,
const CollectorPtr results 
)
virtual

Lower-level search API.

Collector#collect(int32_t) is called for every matching document. Collector-based access to remote indexes is discouraged.

Applications should only use this if they need all of the matching documents. The high-level search API (Searcher#search(QueryPtr, FilterPtr, int32_t)) is usually more efficient, as it skips non-high-scoring hits.
