Class Matching

java.lang.Object

com.yahoo.searchdefinition.document.Matching

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable

public class Matching
extends Object
implements Cloneable, Serializable

Defines how a field should be matched. Matching objects can be compared based on their content, but they are not immutable.

Field Detail

defaultType

public static final Matching.Type defaultType

Constructor Detail

Matching

public Matching()

Creates a matching of type "text"

Matching

public Matching(Matching.Type type)

Method Detail

getType

public Matching.Type getType()

getCase

public Case getCase()

setType

public void setType(Matching.Type type)

setCase

public void setCase(Case casing)

maxLength

public Integer maxLength()

maxLength

public Matching maxLength(int maxLength)

isTypeUserSet

public boolean isTypeUserSet()

getAlgorithm

public Matching.Algorithm getAlgorithm()

setAlgorithm

public void setAlgorithm(Matching.Algorithm algorithm)

isAlgorithmUserSet

public boolean isAlgorithmUserSet()

isPrefix

public boolean isPrefix()

isSubstring

public boolean isSubstring()

isSuffix

public boolean isSuffix()

getGramSize

public int getGramSize()

Returns the gram size, or -1 if not set. Should only be set with gram matching.

setGramSize

public void setGramSize(int gramSize)

merge

public void merge(Matching m)

Merge data from another matching object

getExactMatchTerminator

public String getExactMatchTerminator()

If exact matching is used, this returns the terminator string which terminates an exact matched sequence in queries. If exact matching is not used, or no terminator is set, this is null

setExactMatchTerminator

public void setExactMatchTerminator(String exactMatchTerminator)

Sets the terminator string which terminates an exact matched sequence in queries (used if type is EXACT).
