Constructs a query selecting all terms greater than

CopyC#

lowerTerm

but less than

CopyC#

upperTerm

. There must be at least one term and either term may be null, in which case there is no bound on that side, but if there are two terms, both terms must be for the same field.

Constructs a query selecting all terms greater than

CopyC#

lowerTerm

but less than

CopyC#

upperTerm

. There must be at least one term and either term may be null, in which case there is no bound on that side, but if there are two terms, both terms must be for the same field.

If

is not null, it will be used to decide whether index terms are within the given range, rather than using the Unicode code point order in which index terms are stored.

WARNING: Using this constructor and supplying a non-null value in the

parameter will cause every single index Term in the Field referenced by lowerTerm and/or upperTerm to be examined. Depending on the number of index Terms in this Field, the operation could be very slow.

Returns a clone of this query.

Expert: called when re-writing queries under MultiSearcher. Create a single query suitable for use by all subsearchers (in 1-1 correspondence with queries). This is an optimization of the OR of all queries. We handle the common optimization cases of equal queries and overlapping clauses of boolean OR queries (as generated by MultiTermQuery.rewrite()). Be careful overriding this method as queries[0] determines which method will be called and is not necessarily of the same type as the other queries.

Expert: Constructs an appropriate Weight implementation for this query.

Only implemented by primitive queries, which re-write to themselves.

Returns true iff

CopyC#

o

is equal to this.

Expert: adds all terms occuring in this query to the terms set. Only works if this query is in its {@link #rewrite rewritten} form.

Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.

Gets the boost for this clause. Documents matching this clause will (in addition to the normal weightings) have their score multiplied by

CopyC#

b

. The boost is 1.0 by default.

Returns the collator used to determine range inclusion, if any.

Returns the field name for this query

Returns a hash code value for this object.

Returns the lower term of this range query.

Expert: Returns the Similarity implementation to be used for this query. Subclasses may override this method to specify their own Similarity implementation, perhaps one that delegates through that of the Searcher. By default the Searcher's Similarity implementation is returned.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Returns the upper term of this range query.

Returns

CopyC#

true

if the range query is inclusive

Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.

Prints a query to a string.

Prints a user-readable version of this query.

Expert: Constructs and initializes a Weight for a top-level query.
