Expert: Returns the matches for this query in an index. Used internally to search for spans.
Overrides:
getSpans in interface SpanQuery

getTerm

public Term getTerm()

getTerms

public Collection getTerms()
Returns a collection of all terms matched by this query.
Overrides:
getTerms in interface SpanQuery

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code value for this object.

toString

public String toString(String field)
Prints a query to a string, with field as the default field for terms.

The representation used is one that is supposed to be readable by QueryParser. However, there are the following limitations:

  • If the query was created by the parser, the printed representation may not be exactly what was parsed. For example, characters that need to be escaped will be represented without the required backslash.
  • Some of the more complicated queries (e.g. span queries) don't have a representation that can be parsed by QueryParser.
Overrides:
toString in interface Query
