QueryBuilder (Lucene 10.5.1 core API)
Description: declaration: package: org.apache.lucene.util, class: QueryBuilder

Package org.apache.lucene.util

# Class QueryBuilder

java.lang.Object
org.apache.lucene.util.QueryBuilder

public class QueryBuilder extends Object
Creates queries from the `Analyzer` chain.

Example usage:

       QueryBuilder builder = new QueryBuilder(analyzer);
       Query a = builder.createBooleanQuery("body", "just a test");
       Query b = builder.createPhraseQuery("body", "another test");
       Query c = builder.createMinShouldMatchQuery("body", "another test", 0.5f);

This can also be used as a subclass for query parsers to make it easier to interact with the analysis chain. Factory methods such as `newTermQuery` are provided so that the generated queries can be customized.

    Creates a boolean query from the query text.
    Parameters:
      `field` - field name
      `queryText` - text to be passed to the analyzer
      `operator` - operator used for clauses between analyzer tokens.
    Returns:
      `TermQuery` or `BooleanQuery`, based on the analysis of `queryText`

  - ### createPhraseQuery

    public Query createPhraseQuery(String field, String queryText)
    Creates a phrase query from the query text.

    This is equivalent to `createPhraseQuery(field, queryText, 0)`

    Parameters:
      `field` - field name
      `queryText` - text to be passed to the analyzer
    Returns:
      `TermQuery`, `BooleanQuery`, `PhraseQuery`, or `MultiPhraseQuery`, based on the analysis of `queryText`

    Creates a phrase query from the query text.
    Parameters:
      `field` - field name
      `queryText` - text to be passed to the analyzer
      `phraseSlop` - number of other words permitted between words in query phrase

  - ### getAnalyzer

    public Analyzer getAnalyzer()
    Returns the analyzer.
    See Also:
      - `setAnalyzer(Analyzer)`

  - ### setAnalyzer

    public void setAnalyzer(Analyzer analyzer)
    Sets the analyzer used to tokenize text.

  - ### getEnablePositionIncrements

    public boolean getEnablePositionIncrements()
    Returns true if position increments are enabled.

      - `setEnablePositionIncrements(boolean)`

  - ### setEnablePositionIncrements

    public void setEnablePositionIncrements(boolean enable)
    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: true.

  - ### getAutoGenerateMultiTermSynonymsPhraseQuery

    public boolean getAutoGenerateMultiTermSynonymsPhraseQuery()
    Returns true if phrase query should be automatically generated for multi terms synonyms.
    See Also:
      - `setAutoGenerateMultiTermSynonymsPhraseQuery(boolean)`

  - ### setAutoGenerateMultiTermSynonymsPhraseQuery

    public void setAutoGenerateMultiTermSynonymsPhraseQuery(boolean enable)
    Set to `true` if phrase queries should be automatically generated for multi terms synonyms. Default: false.

  - ### createFieldQuery

    protected Query createFieldQuery(Analyzer analyzer, BooleanClause.Occur operator, String field, String queryText, boolean quoted, int phraseSlop)
    Creates a query from the analysis chain.

    Expert: this is more useful for subclasses such as queryparsers. If using this class directly, just use `createBooleanQuery(String, String)` and `createPhraseQuery(String, String)`. This is a complex method and it is usually not necessary to override it in a subclass; instead, override methods like `newBooleanQuery()`, etc., if possible.

    Parameters:
      `analyzer` - analyzer used for this query
      `operator` - default boolean operator used for this query
      `field` - field to create queries against
      `queryText` - text to be passed to the analysis chain
      `quoted` - true if phrases should be generated when terms occur at more than one position
      `phraseSlop` - slop factor for phrase/multiphrase queries

  - ### setEnableGraphQueries

    public void setEnableGraphQueries(boolean v)
    Enable or disable graph TokenStream processing (enabled by default).
    WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

  - ### getEnableGraphQueries

    public boolean getEnableGraphQueries()
    Returns true if graph TokenStream processing is enabled (default).
    WARNING: This API is experimental and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.
