NAME¶
KinoSearch1::QueryParser::QueryParser - transform a string into a Query object
SYNOPSIS¶
my $query_parser = KinoSearch1::QueryParser::QueryParser->new(
analyzer => $analyzer,
fields => [ 'bodytext' ],
);
my $query = $query_parser->parse( $query_string );
my $hits = $searcher->search( query => $query );
DESCRIPTION¶
The QueryParser accepts search strings as input and produces Query objects,
suitable for feeding into KinoSearch1::Searcher.
Syntax¶
The following constructs are recognized by QueryParser.
- •
- Boolean operators 'AND', 'OR', and 'AND NOT'.
- •
- Prepented +plus and -minus, indicating that the labeled entity should be
either required or forbidden -- be it a single word, a phrase, or a
parenthetical group.
- •
- Logical groups, delimited by parentheses.
- •
- Phrases, delimited by double quotes.
- •
- Field-specific terms, in the form of "fieldname:termtext". (The
field specified by fieldname will be used instead of the QueryParser's
default fields).
A field can also be given to a logical group, in which case it is the same
as if the field had been prepended onto every term in the group. For
example: "foo:(bar baz)" is the same as "foo:bar
foo:baz".
METHODS¶
new¶
my $query_parser = KinoSearch1::QueryParser::QueryParser->new(
analyzer => $analyzer, # required
fields => [ 'bodytext' ], # required
default_boolop => 'AND', # default: 'OR'
);
Constructor. Takes hash-style parameters:
- •
- analyzer - An object which subclasses
KinoSearch1::Analysis::Analyzer. This must be identical to the
Analyzer used at index-time, or the results won't match up.
- •
- fields - the names of the fields which will be searched against.
Must be supplied as an arrayref.
- •
- default_field - deprecated. Use "fields" instead.
- •
- default_boolop - two possible values: 'AND' and 'OR'. The default
is 'OR', which means: return documents which match any of the query terms.
If you want only documents which match all of the query terms, set this to
'AND'.
parse¶
my $query = $query_parser->parse( $query_string );
Turn a query string into a Query object. Depending on the contents of the query
string, the returned object could be any one of several subclasses of
KinoSearch1::Search::Query.
