Class StandardQueryParser

This class is a helper that enables users to easily use the Lucene query parser.

To construct a Query object from a query string, use the Parse(String, String) method:

StandardQueryParser queryParserHelper = new StandardQueryParser();
Query query = queryParserHelper.Parse("a AND b", "defaultField");

To change any configuration before parsing the query string do, for example:

// the query config handler returned by StandardQueryParser is a
// StandardQueryConfigHandler
queryParserHelper.QueryConfigHandler.Analyzer = new WhitespaceAnalyzer();

The syntax for query strings is as follows (copied from the old QueryParser javadoc):

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 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 ::= ["+", "-"] [<TERM> ":"] ( <TERM> | "(" Query ")" )

Examples of appropriately formatted queries can be found in the query syntax documentation.

The text parser used by this helper is a StandardSyntaxParser.

The query node processor used by this helper is a StandardQueryNodeProcessorPipeline.

The builder used by this helper is a StandardQueryTreeBuilder.

StandardQueryParser()

Constructs a StandardQueryParser object.

StandardQueryParser(Analyzer)

Constructs a StandardQueryParser object and sets an to it. The same as:

StandardQueryParser qp = new StandardQueryParser();
qp.QueryConfigHandler.Analyzer = analyzer;

Declaration

public StandardQueryParser(Analyzer analyzer)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Analyzer	analyzer	the analyzer to be used by this query parser helper

Properties

AllowLeadingWildcard

Set to true to allow leading wildcard characters.

When set, * or ? are allowed as the first character of a and . Note that this can produce very slow queries on big indexes.

Default: false.

Declaration

public virtual bool AllowLeadingWildcard { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

DateResolution

Gets the default used for certain field when no is defined for this field.

Declaration

public virtual DateTools.Resolution DateResolution { get; }

Property Value

DateTools.Resolution

DateResolutionMap

Gets or Sets the field to map used to normalize each date field.

Declaration

public virtual IDictionary<string, DateTools.Resolution?> DateResolutionMap { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
IDictionary<System.String, System.Nullable<DateTools.Resolution>>

DefaultOperator

Gets or Sets the boolean operator of the QueryParser. In default mode ( OR) terms without any modifiers are considered optional: for example capital of Hungary is equal to capital OR of OR Hungary.

In AND mode terms are considered to be in conjunction: the above mentioned query is parsed as capital AND of AND Hungary

Declaration

public virtual StandardQueryConfigHandler.Operator DefaultOperator { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
StandardQueryConfigHandler.Operator

EnablePositionIncrements

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: false.

Declaration

public virtual bool EnablePositionIncrements { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

LowercaseExpandedTerms

Set to true to allow leading wildcard characters.

When set, * or ? are allowed as the first character of a and . Note that this can produce very slow queries on big indexes.

Default: false.

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Boolean

MultiTermRewriteMethod

By default, it uses when creating a prefix, wildcard and range queries. This implementation is generally preferable because it a) Runs faster b) Does not have the scarcity of terms unduly influence score c) avoids any Exception due to too many listeners. However, if your application really needs to use the old-fashioned boolean queries expansion rewriting and the above points are not relevant then use this change the rewrite method.

Declaration

public virtual MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod MultiTermRewriteMethod { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
MultiTermQuery.RewriteMethod
