Package ubic.gemma.core.search

Class SearchServiceImpl

java.lang.Object

ubic.gemma.core.search.SearchServiceImpl

All Implemented Interfaces:

InitializingBean, SearchService

@Service
public class SearchServiceImpl
extends Object
implements SearchService, InitializingBean

This service is used for performing searches using free text or exact matches to items in the database.

Implementation notes

Internally, there are generally two kinds of searches performed, precise database searches looking for exact matches in the database and compass/lucene searches which look for matches in the stored index. To add more dependencies to this Service edit the applicationContext-search.xml

SearchServiceImpl

public SearchServiceImpl()

Method Detail

getFields

public Set<String> getFields(Class<? extends Identifiable> resultType)

Description copied from interface: SearchService

Obtain a list of fields that can be searched on for the given result type.

Specified by:

getFields in interface SearchService

search

@Transactional(readOnly=true)
public SearchService.SearchResultMap search(SearchSettings settings)
                                     throws SearchException

Description copied from interface: SearchService

The results are sorted in order of decreasing score, organized by class. The following objects can be searched for, depending on the configuration of the input object.

• Genes
• ExpressionExperiments
• CompositeSequences (probes)
• ArrayDesigns (platforms)
• Characteristics (e.g., Ontology annotations)
• BioSequences
• BibliographicReferences (articles)

Specified by:

search in interface SearchService

Parameters:

settings - settings

Returns:

Map of Class to SearchResults. The results are already filtered for security considerations.

Throws:

SearchException

getSupportedResultTypes

public Set<Class<? extends Identifiable>> getSupportedResultTypes()

Description copied from interface: SearchService

Returns a set of supported result types.

This is mainly used to perform a search for everything via SearchSettings#getResultTypes().

Specified by:

getSupportedResultTypes in interface SearchService

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws Exception

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

Exception

canConvertFromId

public void canConvertFromId(Class<? extends IdentifiableValueObject<?>> to)

loadValueObject

@Transactional(readOnly=true)
public <T extends Identifiable,U extends IdentifiableValueObject<T>> SearchResult<U> loadValueObject(SearchResult<T> searchResult)
                                                                                                    throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: SearchService

Convert a SearchResult to its VO flavour.

The resulting search result preserve the result ID, score and highlighted text, and SearchResult#getResultType(), but sees its SearchResult#getResultObject() transformed.

The conversion logic is mainly defined by the corresponding BaseVoEnabledService that match the result type. See SearchService.getSupportedResultTypes() for a set of supported result types this o function can handle.

Specified by:

loadValueObject in interface SearchService

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the passed search result is not supported for VO conversion

loadValueObjects

@Transactional(readOnly=true)
public List<SearchResult<? extends IdentifiableValueObject<?>>> loadValueObjects(Collection<SearchResult<?>> searchResults)
                                                                          throws IllegalArgumentException

Description copied from interface: SearchService

Convert a collection of SearchResult to their VO flavours.

Note that since the results might contain a mixture of different result types, the implementation can take advantage of grouping result by types in order to use BaseVoEnabledService.loadValueObjects(Collection), which is generally more efficient than loading each result individually.

Specified by:

loadValueObjects in interface SearchService

Parameters:

searchResults - a collection of SearchResult, which may contain a mixture of different Identifiable result objects

Returns:

converted search results as per SearchService.loadValueObject(SearchResult)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if any of the supplied search results cannot be converted to VO
