Method Detail

parseSafely

public static org.apache.lucene.search.Query parseSafely(SearchSettings settings,
                                                         org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser queryParser)
                                                  throws SearchException

Safely parse the given search settings into a Lucene query, falling back on a query with special characters escaped if necessary.

Throws:

SearchException

parseSafely

public static org.apache.lucene.search.Query parseSafely(String query,
                                                         org.apache.lucene.queryParser.QueryParser queryParser)
                                                  throws SearchException

Safely parse the given search query into a Lucene query, falling back on a query with special characters escaped if necessary.

Throws:

SearchException

extractTerms

public static Set<String> extractTerms(SearchSettings settings)
                                throws SearchException

Extract terms, regardless of their logical organization.

Prohibited terms are excluded.

Throws:

SearchException

extractTermsDnf

public static Set<Set<String>> extractTermsDnf(SearchSettings settings)
                                        throws SearchException

Throws:

SearchException

extractTermsDnf

public static Set<Set<String>> extractTermsDnf(SearchSettings settings,
                                               boolean allowWildcards)
                                        throws SearchException

Extract a DNF (Disjunctive Normal Form) from the terms of a query.

Clauses can be nested (i.e. a OR (d OR (c AND (d AND e))) as long as OR and AND are not interleaved.

Prohibited clauses are ignored unless they break the DNF structure, in which case this will return an empty set.

Parameters:

allowWildcards - allow PrefixQuery and WildcardQuery clauses

Throws:

SearchException

prepareDatabaseQuery

@Nullable
public static String prepareDatabaseQuery(SearchSettings settings)
                                   throws SearchException

Escape the query for a database match.

Throws:

SearchException

prepareDatabaseQuery

@Nullable
public static String prepareDatabaseQuery(SearchSettings settings,
                                          boolean allowWildcards)
                                   throws SearchException

Obtain a query suitable for a database match.

This method will return the first global term in the query that is not prohibited. If allowWildcards is set to true, prefix and wildcard terms will be considered as well.

The resulting string is free from character that would usually be used for a free-text match unless allowWildcards is set to true.

Parameters:

allowWildcards - if true, wildcards are supported (i.e. '*' and '?') and translated to their corresponding LIKE SQL syntax (i.e. '%' and '_'), all other special characters are escaped.

Returns:

the first suitable term in the query, or null if none of them are applicable for a database query

Throws:

SearchException

                                          boolean allowWildcards)
